A new book on Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign for president details how the candidate seemed to blame everyone but herself for her stunning loss to President Donald Trump.

Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes wrote in "Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign" that Clinton's campaign lacked vision and was filled with infighting staffers who were more concerned about their own careers than they were about helping the candidate win.

The Democratic presidential nominee reportedly laid blame on several external factors — incompetent campaign staff, Russian interference in the election, the news media, and FBI Director Jim Comey — rather than consider that she was a flawed candidate. Her campaign has publicly blamed Comey for the loss.

It all started with the scandal surrounding her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.

During the first months of the scandal, Clinton reportedly thought she did nothing wrong and was angry that she was being treated "like a common criminal." She blamed Republicans in Congress, conservative donors, and the media for all the negative coverage of the email story.

Allen and Parnes wrote that while Clinton "should have been angry with herself" for her decision to use a private server while working for the government, she instead "turned her fury on her consultants and campaign aides, blaming them for a failure to focus the media on her platform."

Neither Hillary nor her husband, former President Bill Clinton, the book said, "could accept the simple fact that Hillary had hamstrung her own campaign and dealt the most serious blow to her own presidential aspirations."

That became apparent during a mid-August 2015 conference call, in which the Clintons accosted high-level campaign staffers for failing to get the media to focus on Clinton's message rather than on the email scandal. One of the participants on the call reportedly called it an "ass-chewing."
