Clinton: I wanted my supporters to give Trump 'a chance'
The Hill ^ | October 25, 2017 | Max Greenwood

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that she had wanted her supporters to give President Trump "a chance" after he was elected in November, rather than going into a "defensive crouch."

"I thought we should give a chance — we had to give an open mind — to the new president. And I meant it," she said in remarks reported by ABC News. "I didn't want everybody who voted for me just immediately going into kind of a defensive crouch."

"Let's see, maybe there will be a pivot, a move away from the horrible rhetoric, the divisive, insulting rhetoric that had fueled his campaign from the first day," she recalled thinking.

Clinton said that after the election she thought her supporters should wait to see whether the real estate mogul's rhetoric on the campaign trail was genuine or simply a way to "consolidate his position in the Republican Party."

"Maybe that's what he felt he had to do to win, so let's give the guy a chance," Clinton said, recalling her thoughts after the election.

"Well, that did not last long," she continued. "And it didn't last long because, clearly, as Maya Angelou said, when people show you who they are, believe them the first time."

Clinton and Trump clashed bitterly in the 2016 presidential election, and some supporters of the former secretary of State's presidential bid have been vocal in their opposition to Trump since he took office.

I would say it is darn close if not quite the biggest. I assume no one believes this, especially her supporters.

She is FEELING IT now...saying to lay off of Trump is her way to try to get on his good side.

...but that wouldn’t work on Trump under normal conditions, much less now.

Oh, let’s see after the election her fellow-traveler, Jill Stein of the Socialist/Green party, demanded several states’ recounts; the “Women’s March” was planned for the first day after the Inauguration; there were challenges to the Electoral College; Antifa came into play. Yeah there was lots of Hillary’s promoting giving Trump ‘a chance.’

If her lips are moving .....

“The biggest lie yet?”

PRECISELY my first thought, too. They just keep getting bigger and bigger, don’t they?
