No, she wouldn't. Without the Comey letter she would have won.
But without the Bernie or Bust crowd she would have won.
Without the help from Putin for Trump she would have won.
Without sexism she would have won.
Without her idiotic failure to campaign in the Rust Belt states she would have won.
Without her nincompoop of a campaign manager she would have won.
Without the racism and xenophobia of Trump supporters she would have won.
Without the disillusionment of the Rust Belt blue collar former Democrat workers she would have won.
Without her unforced errors such as saying to Wall Street investors that she had one opinion for them, another for public consumption shw would have won.
Without Wikileaks she would have won.
Without the enthusiasm gap in her campaign vs. Trump's she would have won.

And so on and so forth.

When you lose by a grand total of 80,000 votes differential in three states (and remember, she needed to only flip 40,001 of those to win) ANY of the above factors is a decisive factor.

Sure, we can say that Comey's letter was one of the biggest factors... but even WITH Comey's letter but without the Bernie or Bust crowd, she would have won.

And so on and so forth.

Only the confluence of ALL the above factors and whatever else I forgot to mention, gave Trump his victory. So each individual factor is decisive.

I like it. All of it is true. All had a place to play into the results. I always said everything had to go perfect for Trump to win. The earth, moon, sun, the planets and even galaxies had to align just perfect. Somehow they did. I put more emphasis on some of your reasons than others, but you're absolutely correct. All had to occur.

And don't forget the 9 million of us who refused to choose between two candidates we saw as disgusting. I do think the Democrats and Hillary supporters overlooked big time the dislike out there for her. Although they were warned very early about that. She played right into that disliked by acting aloof, elitist, coming across as she knew what best for everyone, more than everyone themselves. In short, she had the personality of a wet mop. 2016, the obnoxious, uncouth, name calling spoiled brat vs. the wet mop.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
