Question: Which individual is 100% responsible for Hillary Clinton's loss in the 2016 presidential election?

A: Jill Stein
B: Gary Johnson
C: James Comey
D: Vladimir Putin
E: Hillary Clinton
F: Joe Biden
G: Bernie Sanders

Correct Answer: E. Hillary Clinton

I have a question for you. If 1 out of 100 people that voted for Trump had voted for Clinton instead, she would have won the electoral college. Now given this, had that have happened, would you say that E. Hillary Clinton would be 100% responsible for her victory?

Well that is at least consistent, if a bit illogical.

If, by your own admission, many factors that are at least partially outside of Clinton's control would be responsible for converting 1% of Trump voters...then it is the lack of those many factors (whatever they are) that resulted in their non-conversion, i.e. Clinton's actual loss.

So it can't be the case that she's 100% responsible for her loss. Because she didn't have complete control over the factors that could have led to her victory.
