Hillary Clinton On Loss: ‘These Have Been Very, Very Tough Days’

Hillary Clinton acknowledged on a call with her campaign staff and volunteers on Friday that her election loss had taken an emotional toll. But she encouraged those listening to stay engaged in the political process once the despair of Tuesday passed.

“I’m not going to sugarcoat it: These have been very, very tough days,” Clinton said. “This is a tough time for our country. I think we have seen how people have been reacting to the events of this election and I know we have got to be reaching out to each other to keep it clear in our own minds that what we did is so important. It looks like we are on the path to winning the popular vote, and that says volumes about the importance of your work and the lasting impact it will have.”

Clinton’s comments are the first she’s offered since her concession speech to Donald Trump on Wednesday morning. Then and now, she kept a calm demeanor, not casting blame for the outcome but instead encouraging those listening to move forward constructively. Friday’s call, which The Huffington Post was able to dial into, lasted roughly 15 minutes, interrupted for a few minutes by a tech snafu.

Clinton thanked her backers for the work they put in, calling the campaign “one of the greatest honors of my life.” And she encouraged them to remain politically engaged in the future.

Yeah, if she’s seen how people have been reacting, she should, and definitely Obama should, call them out. But they won’t if, in fact, it’s Soros’s $ funding the chaos since he owns them both.

I think Bill is happy as can be that Hillary was defeated. Now he’s the only Clinton who will ever be president.

Of course. Hillary is in the process of being re-invented, using or will use these talking points. Why? To discourage prosecution of this docile, grandmotherly woman who has gone through so much.

Thank you for adding that. There’s so much winning this week that I’m not keeping track of all of it.

We went for rib eyes at Doug’s Downtown Grill here in Garden Grove. A little pricey for us at $32.95 each but what the heck, our country is safe again.

One can only get a pardon if they admit guilt.

She will not admit guilt.

Thus, no pardon.

That’s funny.
I watched her Wednesday speech again, but on mute, just to see her eye movements.

“It looks like we are on the path to winning the popular vote, and that says volumes about the importance of your work and the lasting impact it will have.”


In every state, where there was any indication that Dems were committing vote fraud, there must be a close inspection of all ballots, especially in Florida.

Right now there is about a 100,000 difference in in the popular vote, but the Dems spokesmen, and she are crowing about how they have the approval of the majority of the American People. She lost under the rules established in the same Constitution she swore to uphold. Of course this is the same Constitution they wants to ignore, and redefine for their socialist goals.

Go back and check all those absentee ballots, verify that those voting were eligible to vote. Then if there is even a whisper of illegality, pass laws to clean up the voting process nationwide.

Separate Federal Elections from State/Local elections. Even one person, being disenfranchised because of voter fraud in a different area of the same state, or a different state, is unacceptable.

Establish uniform Federal Guidelines for Federal Elections. Include requirements for a government issued, photo ID, proof of citizenship, and require every voter to re-register. Clean the voter rolls up!

In person registration should be at the Supervisor of Elections office, or through a representative of the S.O.E. office, no third party organizations. Paper ballots need to be mandated, for scanning.

Absentee ballots need to be restricted to those with a valid reason for not being able to make it to a precinct on election day. These need to be returned and canvassed, at least a week before election day.

When received a number needs to be assigned to the envelop and the ballot, this is in case of a challenge on election day (person shows up to vote, but finds they have already voted}. After the voter’s ID is verified, the original ballot and envelop can be pulled for evidence of fraud. Absentee ballots should be opened and scanned at the same time as regular ballots.

The head of the Federal Elections Commission in 2000, a Bill Clinton appointee, said at the time that he believed George W. Bush actually won the popular vote because of all the fraud.

In 2016, between 13% of illegal aliens admitting they voted, some dems voting multiple times, busloads of college kids and illegals going to multiple polling locations and voting, rigged voting machines flipping votes from Trump to Clinton, early voting shenanigans, etc. etc., I would not be surprised if Trump actually won the popular vote by a healthy margin, as well as a number of additional states that were put in Clinton’s column on election night.

This woman acted like a mandarin, deigning at leisure to visit with the peasants and then running back to her hyperbaric chamber for extended “naps”. The defeat of this pair of reprobates is all the richer since their massive advantages were made NULL by God (and We the People)!

Trump also flushed out coveys of fake conservatives: the ones who refused to support him because he didn’t meet their standards.
So they were prepared to lose to Clinton.
Vipers.

She thinks this is tough? Wait until she's in Supermax!
