Because they were so sure she was going to win, Hillary Clinton couldn’t have really lost.
All too ironically, they turned for solace to the line Donald Trump was feeding to his followers to embrace in anticipation of defeat ahead of the November election: The election must have been rigged! So on and on the Democratic Party and its supporters in the media have gone about Russian interference in the 2016 election, an interpretation that it now appears will never abate for the fiercest of Democratic partisans.
Admitting the DNC rigged the election against itself by ignoring independent voters and aggressively quelling the nearly successful primary challenge by an independent candidate, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, is out of the question.
Let's toss in that Clinton DID WIN by the standard used by most democracies: the popular vote. She only "lost" in the electoral college, yet that is another thing which people can get their heads around because few people understand what the fuck the electoral college actually does.
