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

It’s a shame that some will dismiss “Downfall” because of the parodies. But it really is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.

I agree.

Downfall was absolutely, positively amazing.

The Hillary campaign? Not so much.

Funny, of all the evil characters in “Downfall”, the one I hate the most is Magda Goebbels.

Last days? Just tell me about the last 6 hours of screaming and trashing a hotel room on election night.

Jennifer Palmieri is one of the slimiest of the slime near the top of the Clinton Crime Organization.

Awe Geez.....

Crappy campain, crappy candidate, crappy concession.... Crapfest all the way around...

Gender had nothing to do with it, she actually performed far better than she ever should have following up the disaster that was the Obama administration.

She couldn’t run on his record, because it was crap... especially in places she needed to win outside the coasts.... she couldn’t run on her own record for the same reason.... so she played the only play she had left... try to demonize her opponent... it was the only play she had...

Hillary didn’t shine in her concession speech... she may have had she delivered it the night before, instead of being in a drunken rage or whatever was going on when she found out she lost to not be able to do it....

But she just looked like a bitter pathetic person doing it the next day, period.

So Jennifer Palmieri was as clueless as all the other Hillary supporters. Was she crying on Election Night 2016, like the snowflakes at the Javits Center that night?

The bitch murdered all of her children and the worst part is that really happened. She must be burning in Hell.

Is this moronic strumpet giving praise to the speech Hitlery delayed giving her supporters and finally only did because she was almost forced to by the Dem party? I’ll always call it her condescension speech.

Fro those who didn't care to read far down into the article, there's this magnificent passage...

"I want to tell you what that day after we lost felt like. It felt like a movie scene you would never see. The scene where you don’t defuse the bomb just in time. The scene where the world explodes.

It is 7 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 9. I wake up in my room at the Peninsula New York hotel, having gone to sleep two hours before.

What follows?

Silence. A suffocating silence. Like I have been hurled into a black hole. Disconnected from the rest of the world. It doesn’t even seem possible to me that I could still speak with the other campaign staff. I imagine that if I picked up my phone to call one of them, it wouldn’t work. I imagine each of them also tumbling in space, in isolation, no gravity, no orientation.

This much I can process: I feel fear. Free-floating fear. It’s not attached to anything specific yet. Just fear."

Hillary Clinton thinks she might have found someone else to blame for her loss ….

Hillary Clinton wants to know if Cambridge Analytica and Russian operatives worked together to derail her presidential campaign.

*****

Hillary Clinton, in an interview originally recorded last year, questioned whether Cambridge Analytica and Russian operatives may have worked together during the 2016 US election.

“The real question,” Clinton said last year while promoting her book about the 2016 election, “is how did the Russians know how to target their messages so precisely to undecided voters in Wisconsin, or Michigan, or Pennsylvania.”

Clinton continued: “So if they were getting advice from, let’s say, Cambridge Analytica or someone else about, ‘OK, here are the 12 voters in this town in Wisconsin — that’s whose Facebook pages you need to be on to send these messages,’ that indeed would be very disturbing.”

Most disturbing, though, is how Russian operatives managed to conceal all of Wisconsin from the Clinton campaign. /s

*****

Comments:

• In the future, everyone will be at fault for Hillary's loss for fifteen minutes.

• It’s year 2044: Hillary’s harvested brain in a robot has blamed space aliens for her loss in 2016. American media covers the story extensively.

• Yes Hillary, they hacked all your campaign maps to not show Wisconsin, Michigan, or Pennsylvania. Then hacked your Teleprompter so you’d call half the country deplorable.
