One can be a competent presidential candidate and still lose. That is the point of democracy. Clinton's campaign could be competent while still more people in the right places want Trump to be president.

Competent people fail all the time for reasons outside of their control but it's also true that incompetent people can rise to the top of an organization based on luck, connections or by being associated with someone else. So you need something more detailed then having been a part of an failed bureaucracy to justify claims of extreme competency in running software projects.
