Its 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 Hillarys concession speech. Where was this Hillary during the campaign? they would lament. Why didnt we see this side of her when it mattered?
Yes, I am sure you loved her concession speech, I thought to myself. Because thats 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 wouldnt 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 wasnt 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 Hillarys campaign, I didnt think it was going to be that hard or even that big of a deal to elect the first woman

Is Jennifer Palmieri psychotic or stupid.
good lord, what a crock of shit ... not a single word about issues, only 100% focus on the gender identity issue ... no wonder hillary lost, with clueless fools like Jennifer Palmieri running her campaign ...
Best version yet
All projection....ALL the time. Delusional nonsense.
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.
Gracious loser?????
What a load of horse hooey
Now thats just plain funny
Between . . . Putins Russian email leaks . . . it was a darkly surreal phase during which I literally had to pause every now and then to confirm that I wasnt 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.
If you watch her arms they are grabbing her ass so she doesn’t crap her pants!
“”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.)
You're doing a really good job!
=:-)
Where are the other water buffalos of her herd?
I, too, love democrat concession speeches.
I would love to hear them every election.
