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.”

The occasion wasn’t all somber. Fans of Clinton could be seen screaming, crying and jumping after leaving with a signed copy of her book. A few people stopped in their cars to tell people in the line that the wait was worth it....

Austin is like a swamp that needs to be drained. A sanctuary city.

Clinton STOLE the popular votes with millions of illegal aliens voting, multiple votes from RATS, rigged voting machines, etc. Trump would have carried at least five additional states in an honest election.

These weeping, cheering moonbats have mental problems.

I dunno - sometimes I cheer when I think about Clinton. And I know I’ll cry tears of joy when she’s behind bars.

Is there any other time in history that a two time failed candidate just never goes away?

I completely understand her pain. In 1888, Grover Cleveland won the most popular votes, but lost in the electoral college to Benjamin Harrison. That bothers me so much that I cannot see the city of Cleveland on a map without crying.

Pardon me now, but I must retreat to my safe space.

Moved on? By signing copies of her new book rehashing her resounding defeat over a year ago?????

The older I get the more appreciate when my dad told me “If you don’t stop crying I will give you something to cry about.”

Hillary should have own the election because she is Native American. Her name is “Shits While Twitching.”

Yess Lulu, you let her down.

You will never fully heal.

You can read that book 20 times and hillary will still NOT be President.

Never.

Feel the burn Lulu.
