I mean really, 
Love her or hate her, Hillary Clinton isn't going anywhere.
In her first live interview since losing the presidential election to Donald Trump in November 2016, she sat down with Today's Savannah Guthrie and Matt Lauer to promote her memoir, What Happened. Asked to rank her level of pain after the results came in, on a scale from 1 to 10?1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest?Clinton said, "It's gone down the scale. It was probably 25 when the election ended in such a surprising, and for me, distressing way. But part of what has happened over the last months for me was writing a book that gave me a chance to look at everything that happened: what I did, what I could have done better, what my campaign could have done better, [and] these forces at work during the election and [are] still at work, when you think about Russia and other places that are of concern to me. So, it was cathartic."
"Here I am," Clinton added. "I hope that people will find it useful and informative."
In writing the book, she said, "I really saw it as both personal and historical."
"It started out, for me, trying to just come to grips with what happened. And to be as candid as I could with myself?that's where I had to start. But also to look at it in a historic frame and say, 'What was at work here?' In addition to the mistakes that I made, which I recount in the book, what about endemic sexism and misogyny?not just in politics, but in our society? What about the unprecedented action of the FBI director [James Comey]? What about the interference by an adversary nation to determine or tilt the outcome of our election?" she asked. "What about voter suppression? Things that I think are just as important today as they were a year ago."
The "determining factor" in her loss was the intervention by Comey on Oct. 28, 11 days before the general election. "It stopped my momentum. It drove voters from me, understandably. This is not about the voters who are saying, 'Wait. What does this mean? And how do I evaluate it?'" Clinton said. "So, I think that?in terms of my personal defeat?was the most important factor."
I just cant with this HAG
