The Moment Hillary Clinton was forced to give-up her dream
NY Post ^ | 5/1/17 | Allen and Parnes

Posted on 05/01/2017 1:14:14 PM PDT by pabianice

Every detail was designed to mark Hillary Clinton’s moment in history — from the glass ceiling at Manhattan’s Javits Center, where her supporters were gathered, to her and hubby Bill’s suite at The Peninsula hotel, selected so she could personally see Trump Tower, home to the foe she was set to crush. Then came the voter returns. In this exclusive excerpt from their fascinating new book, “Shattered,’’ political reporters Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes take readers inside Hillary Clinton’s world on the night that changed her life — and the nation — forever.

Glass ceilings have been broken all over the world. Does this mean anything about the United States? No. But it does mean that suitable candidates have yet to present themselves.

I still like a candidate with some military experience.

Would these same liberals celebrate glass ceilings being shattered and woman power, if the first woman president is a Republican woman?????

Democrat/Republican, Clinton/Bush, Ryan/Pelosi...what the hell's the difference anymore?

That’s what I’m talking about. These same liberals and women talking about woman power and all that, were disdainful of Sarah Palin being nominated for VP, as an example of a conservative woman on the national political scene.

If they were intellectually honest about all of that, they would be celebrating and supportive of all women in politics, even if some such women are Republican.

Ditto how the liberals have had disdain for people such as Clarence Thomas and S.C. Senator Tim Scott. Again, if they want to promote the rising of black people into high positions, they should celebrate having a black US Senator, even if he’s Republican, and a black Supreme Court justice, even though he’s on the conservative side.

Off topic, but speaking of Tim Scott, he was elected by a mostly white electorate, in a state of the old South. A state which liberals stereotype as a backwards relic of racism and discrimination and all that. White voters put him in office in that allegedly racist state.

Agree. Everything we know about her, from the Watergate trials, to the Arkansas governor’s mansion, to her Senate gig, to her ‘08 primary campaign, to SOS, to the ‘16 campaign, is 180° out of phase with this excerpt. The writers whitewashed it.

I read the book——there is nothing in it about their behavior on voting night that we didn’t already know.

When Trump won FL I knew it was curtains for Hillary.

OH & PA were icing on the cake. MI & WI a dagger.

This description of the events of that evening are from an alternate reality. There’s no way in the world that Hillary would quietly accept defeat as described, let alone quietly apologize to Obama.

Ridiculous.

just telling the truth. One Bohemia coworker asked me why she wasn’t getting any men to date for a long-term. I said well the last guy you slept with had herpes and you knew it. They are not going to respect you.

She got very angry.

Sorry folks, the Entitlement Train has derailed. Keep up the tantrum for four years and it will be the same thing all over again.

a spillover crowd who held American flags and prepared for victory.

In the accompanying picture of the spillover crowd, there are no American flags.

In the fog of a shocking defeat, there was one moment that crystallized everything for Hillary. Not long after the concession call, Abedin approached her once again, phone in hand. “It’s the president,” she said. Hillary winced.

ALL the food and cutlery in the reception banquet room had been thrown EVERYWHERE.

She was apoplectic in her anger, screaming and screaming, then got so drunk that when she called her childhood friend to complain about her defeat she was slurring her words so badly as to be INCOMPREHENSIBLE.

Podesta was sent out to make a statement CUZ HILLARY WAS BLOTTO, drunk as a skunk, three sheets to the wind, etc.

"In rural Polk County, smack-dab in the center of the state, Hillary would collect 3,000 more votes than Obama did in 2012 — but Trump would add more than 25,000 votes to Mitt Romney’s total."

Now THAT's my county!
