Failed 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, who was offered assistance in every way legal, legalish, and otherwise by a friendly and obsequious media, has come up with dozens of excuses for why she failed to defeat former President Donald Trump in that consequential election.

Now one of Clinton's most ardent allies in the media, "The View" co-host Joy Behar, has floated a new excuse for her unexpected loss to Trump -- not appearing often enough on the daytime talk show ahead of that election, according to Fox News.

Behar confidently declared that Clinton "would have won" in 2016 if voters had seen her on "The View" more often.

Clinton "would have won" if she'd done this one thing

Behar and her fellow "The View" co-hosts took part in a panel discussion Tuesday evening in New York City and, during a discussion of their daytime talk show, Behar shared her belief about how appearing on the program more often might have altered the 2016 election's outcome for Hillary Clinton.

"Hillary Clinton should have come on ‘The View’ more. She would have won," Behar asserted.

She then noted that she'd told Vice President Kamala Harris the same thing during her appearance on the show earlier that day, and said, "That’s why she came on. That’s why she was there. I think she listened."

Some of the other co-hosts joked that Clinton has appeared on the program so many times since the 2016 election that she was now a "regular" or could even be considered a "guest host."

"We all know Hillary Clinton as the really fun grandma and a person who can take a joke and the people in this country were not seeing that," Behar added. "They would have seen that if she came on the show more."

Clinton's variety of excuses for losing

As noted, Clinton has espoused a wide assortment of reasons for why she lost the 2016 election, which she even discussed in detail in her 2017 book "What Happened."

According to Newsweek, some of those excuses included Russian interference, male sexism, timid female voters, uninformed voters, voter suppression, campaign finance laws, the Electoral College, her own aides and associates, media scrutiny of her scandals, former FBI Director James Comey, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), former President Barack Obama, Green Party nominee Jill Stein, the Democratic National Committee, and Trump supporters, to name just a few.

Nowhere in the plethora of things to blame for the stunning 2016 loss other than herself was Behar's theory of insufficient appearances on "The View," however.

Behar's "overinflated sense of self-worth"

MEAWW reported that Behar's new excuse for why Clinton lost the 2016 election was widely panned on social media as a visceral display of the co-host's "arrogance and narcissism" and the "overinflated sense of self-worth" she shares with he co-hosts about the influence of their program.

As some users duly noted, "The View" is a decidedly liberal show with predominately liberal panelists that caters to a distinctly liberal audience who all would have voted for Clinton no matter what, and more often than not offends and repels conservative and independent viewers rather than win them over.

As such, Clinton could have appeared on that show nearly every day in the run-up to the 2016 election and have little or no positive impact on the number of votes she ultimately received.
