Hillary Clinton on Election Night: ‘They Were Never Going to Let Me Be President’
Daily Beast ^ | April 20 | Gideon Resnick

Posted on 04/20/2018 7:34:08 AM PDT by Dahoser

“No one in modern politics, male or female, has had to withstand more indignities, setbacks and cynicism. She developed protective armor that made the real Hillary Clinton an enigma. But if she was guarded about her feelings and opinions, she believed it was in careful pursuit of a dream for generations of Americans: the election of the country’s first woman president.”

That would have been the nut graf of The New York Times story about Hillary Clinton’s historic victory that would have run under the headline “Madam President” spread across six front-page columns, according to reporter Amy Chozick’s new book, Chasing Hillary: Ten Years, Two Presidential Campaigns, and One Intact Glass Ceiling.
.
.
.
… That’s when Robby, drained and deflated, watching the results with his team in a room down the hall from Hillary’s suite, labored into the hallway of the Peninsula to break the news. Hillary didn’t seem all that surprised. ‘I knew it. I knew this would happen to me….’ Hillary said, now within a couple of inches of his face. ‘They were never going to let me be president.’”

“THEY”
What a piece of work she is. I would pay a lot to see video of her on election night, that would be high entertainment.

Will this bimbo eruption never cease?

Answer: No

Yeah, it was so unfair that people didn’t want to vote in a criminal that was prone to passing out and hurting herself.

Often with two physicians at her side, the woman still had to be tossed into that van like a slab of horse meat.

None the less, she thinks the voters goofed up their best chance ever.

In 2008 “they” = democrats and Team Obama

In 2016 “they” = Bernie bots

We got lucky that “they” did our work for us.

Even as Trump surged in the polls, the Clinton camp still saw him as a danger to stronger candidates rather than such a candidate in his own right, Chozick reports, so that in August 2015, “when the main GOP debate came on, everyone pushed their pizza crust aside and stared transfixed at the TV set… [Campaign Manager] Robby [Mook] salivated when the debate came back on and Trump started to speak. ‘Shhhhh,’ Robby said, practically pressing his nose up to the TV. ‘I’ve gahtz to get me some Trump.’ Robby thought Rubio would be the nominee. Podesta was bullish on Kasich. Bill and Hillary, still stuck in the 1990s, feared the Bush surname most of all.”

THIS PROVES THE HER CAMPAIGN STAFF [AND HER AS WELL] WERE SO CLUELESS ABOUT AMERICANS THEY NEVER HAD A CHANCE OF WINNING......................

This is sad. This is the former first lady of the US and she is descending into madness. It’s not even fun to watch anymore.

Just watch that “Why am I not at 50%?” clip over and over. You’ll undoubtedly get the same flavor.

To finish that quote: “But if she was guarded about her feelings and opinions, she believed it was in careful pursuit of a dream for generations of Americans: the election of the country’s first woman president.”

I do not know of anybody who dreams of “the election of the country’s first woman president”.

I said the same thing about my parents when I turned sixteen and got my drivers license. “They will never let me drive that car.” They knew what they were doing........

“This is the former first lady of the US and she is descending into madness.”

That switch was flipped around midnight on 11/8/16. She went from “sort of whacky” to totally bat-sh!t crazy within a half hour’s time. She never will recover; there’s not enough therapy available on God’s green earth.

Hilarious - they spent time and money trying to “maximize Trump” as a disruptor of the other GOP candidates.
Mission accomplished, Hillary!!

Well, thank heavens “they” prevailed.

From reading this, it seems her entire organization was completely blindsided by Donald Trump. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch.
