For Lulu Flores, it still hurts.
“I really feel for her,” Flores said as her eyes welled. “She did not let anybody down. I felt like we let her down.”
On Nov. 8, 2016, Donald Trump was elected president of the United States. His opponent, Hillary Clinton, had been considered the favorite in the race. Clinton won the popular vote, but Trump bested her in the Electoral College.
Clinton — who met with hundreds of supporters and readers at BookPeople on Friday to sign copies of her book, “What Happened,” about the 2016 campaign — seems to have moved on. Many of her supporters, though, were shaken again remembering Election Night.
“A lot of our fellow Democrats are in a place of shock, disbelief, angst,” Flores said. “Others have shaken it off and persisted. And I have too, but it took a lot out of me.”
Flores, a Clinton supporter since the former first lady’s days in the Senate and a grass-roots fundraiser for her presidential campaign, stood in a line that stretched around the block downtown. Once she was in front of Clinton, Flores said she thanked Clinton for her work.
“Reading the book helped me heal,” she said. “Once again, she’s leading by example.”(snip)
Malia Palmer, in tears, said Clinton is her hero.
“She’s done so much in the face of so much resistance,” she said. “I would tell her that she inspires me.”
Malia Palmer also has political aspirations.
“I would like to be a senator,” she said, before hesitating.
Go ahead and say it, her father, Sean Palmer, said.
“I would like to be a senator,” she said. “And then president.”

Why didnt the signing happen at the roof where they can easily jump off it?
Guess it doesn’t pay to state the truth.
Who is that?
Secret service?
I think he is sexually harassing them with his eyes!
Austin ...... a festering socialist liberal boil on the butt of Texas infected with dumbass snowflakes. What was the range of those NORK nukes again ??

If thats the best PSD 4th string security she can get ........ aka “look at dat azz” bench warmer. She better be glad she’s just as washed up as that rent’a cop wannabe.
I can relate to all that cheering and crying at Hillary’s book signing. I cheer because she lost the election. And I cry because she is not currently in jail.
Ask Hillary to stand up.
She will need two assistants, one under each arm to hold her up.
Contrast with President Trump, always strutting across the stage. High energy Trump, at his elderly age of 120 years but he looks & feels 60.
The two pretty lipsticks need a good ...
The guy needs a good ass whuppin’.
I wonder how much it cost those twits to have their pictures taken with Hillary.
These people are lunatics. Where is the net? I laugh at their destiny. ..life-long loserdom.
I wish we could get rid of Austin. It gives TX a bad name.
“I wonder how much it cost those twits to have their pictures taken with Hillary.”
Article at link quotes one of the losers saying that each person got like “1.25 seconds” with Hillary, but for those 1.25 seconds, it was so amazing...LOL
I wonder sometimes how we would have felt if the opposite result had happened in Nov. 2016.
We might be in a shooting civil war by now.
yeah, but then they’d move to red areas to infect. let ‘em all collect in Austin.
The Butcheress would’ve started WW3 already with Russia.
