I don't know, it seems like when she even mildly went on the offensive, people on both sides (and especially the media) ripped her for it. Remember the "deplorables" things?

For ages, I don't think even Trump's campaign thought he had much of a chance (many sources have said he didn't even want to win). And remember, she did win the popular vote.

I don't think she did nearly as well as she could have, but there's a lot of hyperbole about her that I think is misplaced.

People were going to rip her for whatever she said. That's politics. Welcome to professional politics.

I agree that Trump's campaign seemed surprised to be doing as well as it was, but part of that was the DNC and Hillary pushing all the attention on him because they thought he was a clown making Republicans look bad. If that's not the miscalculation of the century, I don't know what beats it.
