Letter to the Editor

The blame book

Hillary Clinton was interviewed about her failed presidential campaign.
She said, “Why I lost, I’m writing a whole book about all those outside forces which directly affected the outcome of the election”.
The book will detail the many reasons she blames for losing the election.
Why bother to buy or read the book? Here they are:
I lost the election because of the FBI probe. 
I lost the election because of the James Comey investigation. 
I lost the election because of the Russians meddling. 
I lost the election because of Vladimir Putin interfering.
