Not an easy thing to muster the loss after feeling the “potential victory” based on a host of factors. I do not want to list them but a few reasons that may have contributed to your loss, despite the fact that you received more votes (more than the difference between Gore vs. Bush), are your terming TRUMP supporters as “basket of deplorables” and not really campaigning in the key battleground states. These reasons are not my own; I just picked them up from the political pundits who were analyzing the election outcome on TV. But I do agree with them.

Nevertheless, your campaign overall was tremendous and the onslaught of the media in showcasing your “un-trustworthiness” and the email saga may have dented your campaign along the way but you took it all in stride. And congratulations for receiving more votes than your opponent. And you were gracious in accepting the outcome and congratulating TRUMP. Best wishes in you future endeavors whatever they might be. Who knows the glass ceiling may still beckon you in four years from now!
