Clinton took her victory for granted - and paid the price.

Agreed. She wasn't even close to my ideal candidate but she had
victory within her reach if she had only pushed for it. Instead she
had her own ideas of what needed to be done and as such wasn't able to
draw in enough support. (Hmm, that's reminding me of another candidate
running for office now.) If she had listened she might have campaigned
in other states that were polling as close and pulled in enough votes
to put her over on the electoral college numbers.
