Ed Klein: The Real Reason Hillary Asked for a Recount IBy Ed Klein Wednesday, 30 Nov 2016

Why did Hillary Clinton join Jill Stein, the Green Party's oddball presidential nominee, in asking for a recount of the votes in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, when everyone knows that such a recount won't change the outcome of the 2016 election?

Part of the answer is that people close to Hillary — Huma Abedin, Chelsea Clinton, and Sidney Blumenthal — encouraged her to ask for a recount as a way of lifting her spirits.

"She is weepy, looks 10 years older and is very whiny," said one of Hillary's closest friends. "She has been drinking wine pretty heavily, much more than usual.

"She mopes around all day, swimming in a sea of recriminations and complaining that her campaign managers were 'incompetent,' Bill and Chelsea 'didn't work hard enough,' FBI Director Comey was 'in league with Trump.'"

In addition, President Barack Obama convinced Hillary that it was in the best interest of the Democratic Party if the Clinton legal team got involved with the recount and didn't leave it to Jill Stein.

"The president felt that the progressives were acting stunned and helpless and had to rise out of their stupor and show that they weren't going to take their defeat lying down," said the source

All she had to do was cross the finish line. There were others who were promised and bought a seat at her table to run this country.

Poor Hillary seems very very depressed, I hope no one gives her a (loaded) gun for Christmas. That would be deplorable.

Her “wine” list: Jack Daniel’s, Wild Turkey, Jim Beam, Bacardi, and Jose Cuervo.

Yeah, by now, she's probably up to the Everclear straight up (grain ethanol 190 proof)

She probably shouldn't smoke at the same time.

Actually, that's not why Obama did that.

Obama is creating a whole new leftist movement from scratch, bypassing the Democratic Party. He is getting the Clintons out of the way.

complaining that her campaign managers were ‘incompetent,’ Bill and Chelsea ‘didn’t work hard enough,’ FBI Director Comey was ‘in league with Trump...it had NOTHING to do with her, with her lack of likability, personality, energy; the perception of her as a crook and a liar and totally untrustworthy. Nope. It was the managers, her family, Comey, the voters, the newspaper boy, her hairdresser ... everyone but Hillary!

Hey murdering skank!

99% of the voters thought you suck...but some of them voted for you anyway.

I’d rather see her swing a sledge hammer, and turning big boulders into tiny rocks.

Please give her the strongest stuff that will finish her “mood” for good. Perhaps include a bit of celebratory “FIREworks”

I’m sittin’ here trying to give a damn but I just can’t do it. She was so sure of herself......she was the Queen and the country would never pick Trump over her. The White House was hers and hers alone. She was supposed to be the POTUS.....it was her turn, yadayadayada.......drink up sister........because of God’s grace the country has been saved from you!

My first thought was of the Godfather scene where Vito is telling Michael that he’s drinking more wine, abd Michael tells him it’s good for you pop...
