Hillary Clinton finds more excuses for why she lost to Trump — including man you'd never expect

For Hillary Clinton, the list of reasons she lost to now-President Donald Trump last November is never ending.

And now the former leading presidential candidate has added three new reasons to that list.

Who/What she already blamed

At the top of her list are Russian interference and former FBI director James Comey. Clinton believes Russia manipulated the outcome of the election by either colluding with the Trump campaign or through a misinformation campaign perpetrated through WikiLeaks.

On the other hand, she blames Comey for writing to Congress less than two weeks before the election informing them that the FBI potentially found new evidence in their criminal investigation into her use of a private email server while secretary of state. The discovery turned out to be nothing and Comey admitted as much in a second letter to Congress. But Clinton believes the damage was done.

Clinton has also blamed Democratic National Committee data, sexism, racism, the mainstream media and voter suppression.

Who/What she's adding to the list

As bits and pieces of Clinton's new memoir, "What Happened," continue to leak, the onus of Clinton's loss continues to be distributed to everyone and everything but herself.

According to reports, Clinton also lays blame on the Electoral College, former President Barack Obama and Green Party candidate Jill Stein.

"I wasn’t just running against Donald Trump. I was up against the Russian intelligence apparatus, a misguided FBI director, and now the godforsaken Electoral College," she writes in her book, according to NBC News.

A New York Times review of the book noted where Clinton blames Obama:

She made a connection between Mr. Obama and what she called her biggest gaffe of the campaign: telling voters in Ohio, “We’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.” Mrs. Clinton insisted that the line was taken out of context, but said Mr. Obama had fed the narrative of Democratic hostility toward coal miners by announcing a plan that set state-by-state targets for carbon emissions reductions, and a framework for meeting them, at the White House, next to the head of the Environmental Protection Agency.

NBC reported that Clinton blames Stein for taking votes away from her in pivotal swing-states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan.

"[I]n each state, there were more than enough Stein voters to swing the result, just like Ralph Nader did in Florida and New Hampshire in 2000," Clinton says.

Clinton also claims in the book that she takes responsibility for her loss. But how can she really do so when she spreads the blame in more than a dozen other directions?

She's done

Clinton's new book is set to release nationwide on Tuesday. In preparation for the release, Clinton is on a media tour to promote the book.

In a pre-taped interview that aired on CBS "Sunday Morning," Clinton said she is done being a political candidate while reiterating her desire to be involved in national politics.

"I am done with being a candidate," she said, according to the Washington Post. "But I am not done with politics because I literally believe that our country’s future is at stake."
