As Hillary Clinton waited backstage on Nov. 8, 2016, she looked over at Bill, who was slipping on his suit jacket, and smiled.
Her campaign staff clinked their champagne glasses, as she walked to the podium, to signal that, come January, the glass ceiling that held back women had been shattered.
Some version of that story with a happy ending for Hillary Clinton’s supporters is what political journalists Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes were preparing to turn into a book, Allen told an audience of more than 100 attendees at the Carnegie Library Lecture Hall on Tuesday. Instead, they wrote “Shattered: Inside Hillary’s doomed campaign.”
In the book, Allen and Parnes outline three major mistakes Clinton made that derailed her campaign. But the authors were just like a lot of people in America and across the world shocked when Trump won. Albeit the ending was not the one they had planned for, the details they gathered were “foreshadowing” of the ultimate result and filled with sordid campaign infighting. What before they thought would have to turn into a story of how Clinton overcame so many setbacks, now became the story of how those setbacks were symptoms of her larger failures.
They published the book in April, one of the first behind-the-scenes looks at what happened. “We did not have to go back and tear things up,” Allen said. "We simply didn’t have to go back. There were a few sentences that changed."
After Clinton lost, more details emerged as many more Clinton campaign staff members were willing to share their stories, adding to the stories they already had....

Were all these people in an alternate universe?
Almost from the day Trump came down that escalator at Trump Tower in June 2015, I was convinced he was going to be our next president.
Then again, I never watched CNN, MSNBC or read the New York Times. I simply observed what was happening in the real world.
2. She's a B!tch.
3. She's a B!tch.
In case you’re wondering:
1. The inability to make the campaign about anything but herself. The phrase that really stuck, “I’m with Her,” was about Clinton, not about voters. [Why not? “Me, me, me, me” worked for O’Bastard]
2. Clinton failed was because of mistakes prior to the campaign that haunted her: the private email server she used for official government business and her decision to take hefty speaking fees from large banks and then never release those speeches. [”Mistakes” - for crying out loud! Big time felony law-breaking and corruption hauling down $300,000 for a “speech.” That was nothing but thinly disguised campaign contributions far exceeding the legal limit.]
3. Overemphasis on data over gut instinct and traditional political strategies, like knocking on doors. Instead of trying to persuade undecided voters, like Bill Clinton wanted, the polling data told the campaign to focus on rallying the base in Democratic strongholds. [She is SO UNLIKEABLE that most people wouldn’t open their doors for her.]
” But the authors were just like a lot of people in America and across the world shocked when Trump won. “
They too thought they knew better and were going to rule over the deplorables that Hillary spoke of, the same bitter clingers that Obama mentioned. They believed the MSM hype, not the real voters opinions. That’s why they were shocked that Trump won.
She's a horrible self centered person and though she should be crowned Queen.
Why aren't I 50 points ahead you might ask ?
Remember that day ? She still thinks she will be eventually coordinated thats why she is still hanging in there.
Even her husband can't stand her.
She is a hateful, spiteful witch with no allegiances to anyone or anything but herself. It didn’t draw votes
Pundits never even try to sugar coat the elephant in the room. They flat out ignore it: She isn’t a likable human.
I dont care what level of campaign they ran
Hillary is simply a cold calculating person whose only realistic emotion is anger
News of her shockingly amoral illegal compromise of classified information for profit and personal convenience was the icing on the cake
And her disdain for average “ deplorable” Americans was the cherry on top
I agree. Also, the people aren’t ready for a communist POTUS.
TWELVE women claimed Trump assaulted them?
She’s like the batty drunk obnoxious aunt in the family that nobody wants to be around. She’s a grifter, a thief and a bribe-taker. She ran with the old Arkansas power crowd at the moment Mena cocaine flooded in. The nose candy fried the conscience out of her liquor soggy brain. She isn’t smart and nobody can point to a single accomplishment in her life. She smells like farts, boiled cabbage and urine. She can barely walk unaided. She attacks rape victims. She is a lesbo spirit cooking pagan who partakes in satanic rituals. She held séances in the White House to summon Eleanor Roosevelt. She touched a Ouija Board once and it spelled out “great thanks, now I’ll have Chlamydia, the clap, and herpes”. She LIED to the parent of a dead SEAL about the cause of his death, and did it right beside his coffin. Hot Sauce was a lie and everyone knew it. She made She insulted Tammy Wynette. Who in hell hates Tammy Wynette? When her husband won an election, she surrounded herself with a staff of Maoists and wielded unelected power when all she should have done was entertain visitors to the white house. She fired the non-political White House Travel Office staff and gave the contract to her friend. She drove Vince Foster to suicide by publically berating and humiliating him...a long term friend. That or had him murdered, that’s still a possibility.
She moved to have the internet content fall under government regulation. She took campaign and bribe money from red China and all across the Islamic world. She hung condoms all over the white house Christmas tree.
She knew her lesbian and revolutionary Maoist lifestyle would hurt Bills Governor election, so she bred an ugly child with big jowls with Webb Hubble. Later that unholy spawn spent 2 million on her wedding that had been donated to help the poor in third world nations.
She thinks people should vote for her because of her magic vajayjay. No other women apparently has one in her fried old mind, so somehow, she’s special.
And she laughed, literally like Hitler would about the killing of Khaddaffi in the streets. “we came, we saw. he died...cackle cackle”. She let the men in Benghazi die, wondering why nobody would help. She helped start the Arab spring, ISIS, and the hellscape that has become.
Off the top of my head, that’s why I think she lost.
1. Her sordid past. She may have been able to bribe, cajole or otherwise threaten would-be investigations into here, she eventually failed in the court of public opinion. The lies kept adding up.
2. The video of her near collapse was devastating. So much so it will probably forever change the procedure of many campaigns accessibility. Kudos for whoever took that video. They’re not given the credit they deserve.
3. Her campaign was “I’m with her”, it was “It’s all about Hillary”. The arrogance. She still can’t fathom why she didn’t get 100% of the female vote and is now actually calling them out as traitors to their gender.
Here is the 400 lb gorilla no one in the media dare say.
Hillary Clinton’s fatal flaw, and the reason she lost is because she is Hillary Clinton. That’s it in a nutshell.
Just the fact that she was female entitled her to the office is pathetic. The liberal voter is braindead.
I enjoy re-experiencing elction night 2016 via youtube vids. The only fair and balanced msm reporter that night was Major Garrett at cbs (formerly at fox news).
As Pennsylvania (and thus the presidency) was being called for Trump throughout the other networks, cbs (which hadn’t called the race yet) went to Major Garrett at Trump’s manhattan victory party. Garrett described how crowded and spirited Trump’s campaign rallies were. To him, they were the biggest, surest sign that Trump had a strong chance to win.
All these other msm jamokies knew the same thing that Garrett knew, but they were like the hushed-up hollowood con-munity regarding pervey whine-stain: they couldn’t speak the truth about hillahoids even if it was what they really wanted to do.
Lying, stealing, and egomania
“Almost from the day Trump came down that escalator at Trump Tower in June 2015, I was convinced he was going to be our next president.”
Me too. Looking back, it was inevitable.
