I think Clinton let them get away. I think she played her cards badly when she had a good solid lead across the board last month by spending her time at fundraisers rather than in front of potential voters and the press. At the same time, Trump's change in campaign management kicked into gear and helped him avoid shooting himself in the foot every day and get on script. He was speaking more effectively to to potential voters while she was behind closed doors collecting money.
I'm not oblivious to Hillary's faults and I agree with that assessment. At the time, I thought it was a good idea for her to just lay low and do her fundraising. It seemed better to let Trump have the floor, I knew he'd shoot himself in the face at some point. I hope she has seen the error of her ways.
