Hillary Clinton's aides were so sure she would win that they reportedly popped champagne on the campaign plane on Election Day.

Hours later, instead of becoming the nation's first female president as polls had predicted, Clinton suffered one of the most stunning political defeats in history, and Donald Trump became the new president-elect.

And regular folks popped a can of their favorite brew when Trump won.

Schadenfreude best served cold

Guess their elation balloon popped.

Oh come on, they would have popped champagne anyway. They’re drunkards.

Pride goeth before a fall

Hillery ran a pretend campaign. She got a pretend victory.

What a waste of good cork.. :)

Clinton suffered one of the most stunning humiliating political defeats in history.

Fixed it.

That champagne turned to vinegar real quick. HaHa.
How sweet it is—Jackie Gleason.

I laugh at these malignancies (the LIB asshats) and all they stand for. Going to prison would be too good for them. Good riddance to bad rubbish!

This just gets better and better. I still haven't come off this good feeling since Tuesday night. I might just have to check myself into the hospital soon for terminal happiness.

BTW, I had a bottle of champagne in my refrigerator on Election Day 2008. More for Sarah Palin than for John McCain. I ended up taking it into my backyard and smashing it against a tree. But unlike the crybabies of today, I went to work the next morning and got on with my life.

I still would have liked to see Trump buy out HRC’s fireworks display for about 8 cents on the dollar.

And that is why she waited until the next day to give her concession speech.. she was hammered by dinnertime.

Concession calls are best served drunk ;)

Since Trump doesn’t imbibe he obviously wasn’t planning to concede. H on the other hand... :)

[xp38]

Hey there’s still electoral college vote...or even the inauguration :)

[jiggyboy]

those were the days, huh
