Clinton's ‘storm of problems’ lost her the election, NOT Russia
Karen Finney, also a political commentator for MSNBC, urged people to stop blaming Putin, Russian hackers and FBI director James Comey re-opening Hillary’s email case for the Democrats defeat.

Obama said: “We have to be in those communities. I became a US senator not just because I had a strong base in Chicago, but because I was driving around down state Illinois and going to fish fries and sitting in VFW halls and talking to farmers.” During her discussion with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Finney said: “I think we need to learn some of the lessons coming out of this election, no question, in terms of how we talk to working families, whether they are black, white, brown and where those families are located, how we talk to them about the issues they care about.

“So there are so many things we can – some lessons we can learn. But I don’t think that this is an example of, you know, there are one or tow things that was just flip a switch and everything will be perfect.” During the election campaign, David Cameron’s former adviser criticised Clinton's campaign team for overlooking Donald Trump’s appeal.
