It’s the afternoon of Wednesday, Nov. 9. We are at the New Yorker Hotel and Hillary has just finished her concession speech. I decide to just nod and smile wistfully when supporters and reporters, men and women alike, laud Hillary’s concession speech. “Where was ‘this Hillary’ during the campaign?” they would lament. “Why didn’t we see this side of her when it mattered?”
Yes, I am sure you loved her concession speech, I thought to myself. Because that’s what you think is acceptable for a woman to do —concede.
Had I never left the Obama White House to be part of the campaign, I am sure I would have asked the same question. I probably would have printed out the transcript of her remarks, and pored over them, trying to isolate the essence of what she had said that made this speech so much more appealing than anything she had said during the campaign. And I wouldn’t have found it. Because I needed to have the experience of working for a female presidential candidate to understand that why we liked “this Hillary” so much better than “candidate Hillary.” Fundamentally it wasn’t about the words she used in her concession speech but what she represented. She was no longer a woman pushing to be president. She was a gracious loser putting the needs of her country above her own. It was the role of Hillary as an ambitious candidate that troubled us.
We think a woman shines best when she is selflessly putting others’ interest above her own. It is more flattering than seeking her own spotlight.
I have to tell you that when I first joined Hillary’s campaign, I didn’t think it was going to be that hard or even that big of a deal to elect the first woman

“last days” - what an appropriate phrase.
Hillary is an unlikeable shrill old scold.
She campaigned like she was owed the Presidency and the election a formality.
Palmieri is a run-of-the-mill progressive useful idiot.
Whoever said madness isn’t contagious obviously wasn’t around to see this.
...and she’s butt ugly, too.
hahahahaha!

Very funny but I think the hand truck Hannibal Lecter rolled in on would be more appropriate.
This is the Bitch that thought Hillary’s “Deplorable” speech was her finest hour.
Huh. I wasn’t aware that her campaign had ended.........
LMAO
That looks like a guy. Does it shave it’s face?
for those who REALLY want an inside look at “what happened” to the Hillary campaign, the book “Shattered” makes a fascinating read. The author, who clearly hates Trump, is forced over and over again to contrast Hillary and Trump campaigns, showing everywhere Trump did things right, Hillary did things wrong.
If only a bunker and a pistol.....
There is no mystery as to why Hillary Clinton lost: She is a piece of zhit.....The American people were able to see thru the facade. One of the hardest things to do is to fake being human because the mask WILL eventually slip.
That’s a MAN, baby!
