It was the DNC fundraising scandal that broke about 10 days before the election. Not only did it keep Clinton from getting 50%, but it also probably kept Democrats from taking back the House that year. Just look at all of the House races Democrats barely lost(AZ-06, KY-03, NH-01, UT-03, WI-01, WA-02, WA-03, PA-13, PA-21, CT-06, IL-11, NJ-12, ID-01, IL-19, MO-09, AL-03, AL-04, IN-08). They needed 18 seats to get back the House and won nine. Just winning half of these really close races would have given them the House.
