David Paul Kuhn of the Politico has come up with five mistakes that Hillary Clinton made that he thinks cost her the nomination.

Here is the number one mistake according to Kuhn.

1) Hubris 

Hillary didn’t just sell the press and the public on her inevitability as the general election candidate; she sold herself the same bill of goods, telling George Stephanopoulos before the Iowa caucus that “I’m in it for the long run. It’s not a very long run. It will be over by February 5.”

Hubris was the campaign’s fatal flaw, from which the others, both strategic and tactical, derived.

The other four probably pale by comparison.

Read the other four.
