“Clinton no longer matters”? She certainly does, in regards to any discussion of how the 2016 election turned out, which is the entire point of this article you’re responding to in the first place.

You insist you’re not a Clinton partisan, but your entire argument is that we should ignore both her conduct during the campaign and how the media blindsided themselves, effectively erasing her own culpability in the matter — as though it is impossible to do that AND critique Trump’s performance. Using terms like “they won’t shut up” is also telling — why should they? You’re criticizing Trump’s supporters for their rationale in supporting him, which includes their opposition to her and their reasons for that opposition.

It’s rather like being in a chemistry class and being told never to mention H2O in a formula describing the molecule-chains in a soap bubble.
