Inside the Last Days of the Hillary Clinton Campaign (by Jennifer Palmieri - barf alert)
Time ^ | 3/21/2018 | Jennifer Palmieri

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

There’s seldom enough “Time” and frankly, the minutes could be used to follow something found much more interesting than these would-be debutantes telling of the night they descended.Frankly, we could care less, though it was more than important that we see it happen.

CAUGHT!! From the middle of the article:

Between . . . Putin’s Russian email leaks . . . it was a darkly surreal phase during which I literally had to pause every now and then to confirm that I wasn’t dreaming. (My emphasis.)

She just blew the scam by calling the alleged "Russian hacks" leaks, meaning the DNC material was leaked, not hacked. Hence, we go the the grave of the late Seth Rich.

“”She was a gracious loser putting the needs of her country above her own.”

Well, at least she was/is a loser.

Oh, bull.

The same thing happened after Gore’s concession speech. People like and appreciate gracious exit speeches. (Not that I heard Hillary’s exit speech. She disgusts me and I never watch the screeching hag.)
