Clinton Scorches Trump – In a Tweet
Burn.
Despite the election having been more than 300 days ago, Wednesday night President Trump broke his short streak of mostly issue and hurricane related tweets with yet another attack on Hillary Clinton. The former Democratic presidential nominee is making her way around the country and hitting the talk shows to promote her new book on the election, What Happened.
In two tweets, Trump took a swing at his former Democratic opponent:
Crooked Hillary Clinton blames everybody (and every thing) but herself for her election loss. She lost the debates and lost her direction!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 14, 2017
The “deplorables” came back to haunt Hillary.They expressed their feelings loud and clear. She spent big money but, in the end, had no game!

Pretty much nothing he said was true. Clinton has taken personal responsibility for losing the election. Her citing various factors is what’s called analysis and reflection. And yes, Jim Comey’s actions clearly changed the direction of the race, as many, including Nate Silver, have said repeatedly:
I’ll put it like this: Clinton would almost certainly be President-elect if the election had been held on Oct. 27 (day before Comey letter).

I’m actually surprised there aren’t more Comey-cost-Clinton-the-election takes. You can make a pretty good argument.

Clinton experienced a sharp, 3-point drop in her polls after the Comey letter came out. Then on 11/8, she lost FL, WI, PA & MI by <=1 point.

The rest is obvious.
So Hillary Clinton decided to respond, by scorching Trump:
If you didn’t like that book, try this one — some good lessons in here about working together to solve problems. Happy to send a copy. pic.twitter.com/7dmVJ44mZu

Clinton posted an image of a children’s picture book, It Takes a Village, which just happens to be, as Amazon notes, “Hillary Rodham Clinton’s first book for young readers, inspired by the themes of her classic New York Times bestselling book It Takes a Village, and illustrated by two-time Caldecott Honor recipient Marla Frazee, [which] asks readers what can they do to make the world a better place?”
Note she didn’t post the adult version.
