There is no candidate in history, except one, who has been so stupid, lazy, and useless as the one who lost with a 2:1 money advantage.

Well they were certainly both greatly harmed by their campaign headquarters/internal documents being hacked, so it's an apt comparison. The difference being that McGovern still would have lost anyway without Watergate. He probably would have done about as well as Mondale did in the popular vote at least, and maybe won one or two more states (Rhode Island, Minnesota). Whereas Clinton, in a world where Vladimir Putin chooses to do nothing to influence the election, wins at least Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, and probably also Florida, and possibly North Carolina and Arizona.

Lol. Of course it isn't Hillary's fault
There are a lot of reasons why Clinton lost in an election this close. She could have ran a better campaign. She could have been clearer about her pnuemonia. She could have not moved far left. Sanders could have dropped out earlier. Comey could have not dropped the letter. The russians could have not interfered in the election. To ascribe all the blame to Clinton is stupid, as is to ascribe none.

Trump woulda won anyway. Also, in NC and AZ, it's practically impossible that spreading fake news could influence any final state's results, let alone swing it from +3.5 for Trump to at least +0.1 for Clinton
