If anything, the Democrat Party owes the people of the United States an apology for perpetrating this "deplorable" upon the American public as a candidate.
No matter how many times the haters say this, it will never be true. She got 3 million votes more than Trump, and it would have been a much larger margin, including an electoral college victory, if some of the pwecious snowflakes who were rooting for her to win had bothered to pitch in and help, rather than their "noble" "protest" of leaving it blank or #writeinBernie or whatever.
It's not Hillary's fault she ran up against a buzzsaw who added millions of voters to the rolls, reached out to Democrats like no Republican ever could have, and somehow still hung out to all of the "values voters" (ha!). And despite all of his unique advantages that no other Republican could have brought to the table, the American people were rooting for her victory by a landslide margin. She wasn't a terrible candidate or even a mediocre one - she would have trounced the other Republicans, and even had a clear preference of the electorate against the Republicans' strongest candidate.
She lost to Donald Trump. Therefore, she was a terrible candidate.
Also nobody campaigned to win the popular vote. They campaigned to win the EC, so using the "muh 3 million votes" argument is disingenuous at best.
