Well, since she wins without his unprecedented, uncalled-for, and obviously-political ninth-inning entrance, James Comey.

Unprecedented?  Uncalled for?

Unprecedented, yes, but unprecedented because no candidate under FBI investigation at the level Clinton was has ever had the chutzpah  to run for President with the decks being cleared for them by terminal idiots like Debbie Wasserman Schultz.  No FBI Director has ever had to deal with such a situation.

I'll say this:  If Donald Trump were being investigated by the FBI for something he could be indicted for, at the level Clinton was being investigated, and shortly before the election, there was a discovery that reflected that information on another device that was subpoenaed was not turned over to the FBI, and Comey DIDN'T announce this, you'd be whining (from the protection of your safety zone, of course) about "the public's right to know".  And you'd have a point; what would the American public have done if they could have known the content of Nixon's tapes on, say, Halloween, 1972?

James Comey did not want to go down in history as the FBI Director who kept from the American Public information relevant to an electoral choice.  And I don't see where his announcements affected the result.  Hillary did not lose PA, WI, or MI because of anything Comey said or did; she lost them because she displayed contempt for their working class voters, calling them deplorable.  And these folks not only heard Hillary's words, they heard the cries of folks like yourself piling on (from the security of safe zones, of course).  The middle finger they gave was for Hillary, and it was also for her supporters who openly showed contempt for Trump's supporters (as Hillary, herself, displayed with enthusiasm).  It takes a special kind of stupid to vote for a candidate who shares their supporters' loathing of you and folks like you. 

Instead he will go down in history as the man who help give the United States a Fascist as president.
