The wealthy Democrats who helped pump over $1 billion into Hillary Clinton’s losing effort want answers.

NEW YORK — When Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine greet the very top fundraisers and donors to their failed campaign at New York’s Plaza Hotel on Thursday evening, many of them will have one question in mind: Where’s the autopsy?
The call for a deep and detailed accounting of how Clinton lost a race that she and her donors were absolutely certain she’d win didn’t begin immediately after the election — there was too much shock over her defeat by Donald Trump, and overwhelming grief. Her initial conference call with top backers, which came just days after the outcome, focused primarily on FBI Director Jim Comey’s late campaign-season intervention.
But in the weeks since, the wealthy Democrats who helped pump over $1 billion into Clinton’s losing effort have been urging their local finance staffers, state party officials, and campaign aides to provide a more thorough explanation of what went wrong. With no dispassionate, centralized analysis of how Clinton failed so spectacularly, they insist, how can they be expected to keep contributing to the party?

Here’s the only postmortem you need. Your candidate sucked.
And lost.
It’s never her fault. It was fake news, Russian hacking, Comey, Fox News, etc.
Here’s why she lost:
1. She has a personality that exudes fake sincerity.
2. Her email server and Clinton Foundation (they are linked) stunk to high heaven.
3. She was basically promising Obama III, when the country had simply had enough of America’s shift to the far left (Warren/Sanders/Pelosi).
4. The mainstream media lost its subtle bias and went into full-on campaign mode. It was almost laughable and middle America saw it.
