Krauthammer: Clinton Lost Because ‘She Had Nothing to Say,’ Just Felt It Was Her Turn

 

On Fox News tonight, Charles Krauthammer said Hillary Clinton‘s team may not fully understand why it is they lost.

Earlier this week, aides for Clinton and Donald Trump got in a remarkably explosive back-and-forth over the election. Clinton campaign official Jennifer Palmieri said Team Trump was “providing a platform for white supremacists,” and Kellyanne Conway shot back that they didn’t lose because of white supremacy, but because of a lacking message.

And Krauthammer had to agree on that one:

“Every time liberals lose they accuse the other side of all kinds of isms… At some point they run out of steam… The reason she lost is she had nothing to say. She was running because it was her turn.”

He said that the Clinton campaign may want to blame the “deplorables,” but those unseemly elements were only on the “edges of the campaign” and didn’t account for the results.
