99. I supported Bernie Sanders too, and contributed money to his campaign,

and, you're right about the email issue being a "non-issue" for his campaign.
But that has nothing to do with the fact that at the point where Comey sent his letter about finding new HRC emails, only 10 days before the election, lost Hillary at least 10 points in the polls.
Because of Comey, instead of going into the election 11-13 points ahead, which was a larger lead than she'd had over the previous month or so, she went into the election with a measly 3 point lead.
I is my contention that the Republicans can only steal elections that are close.
(Obama proved this in both 2008 and 2012)

You have to remember that Hillary didn't have a "united" Democratic Party behind her, and, imo, that was her own fault.
The first big decision that any nominee has to make is to choose their running mate.
She could have chosen either Bernie or Elizabeth Warren, and that would have gone a long way towards uniting the then-divided Democratic Party.

Finally, regarding your "That's it...now I'm switching my vote" (after Comey's letter), Hillary Clinton would have picked up many "undecided" voters in those last few days of the campaign, namely, those who would have voted for her as "the lesser of two evils", especially after that "I grab 'em by the pussy" tape came out.
Even arch-conservative P.J. O'Rourke had decided to vote for her, as "the lesser of 2 evils".
But after Comey's letter, Hillary lost many of those type of voters, and many of them probably ended up voting for Jill Stein.
But many of them who were Democrats that supported Bernie Sanders might have thought that "this is the last straw" and many probably just stayed home & didn't even vote.

"I contend that this was a small percent"?
I disagree.
Facts are facts, and you can easily check the poll numbers before and after Comey's letter.
10 percent is not "a small percent"
