At 2 a.m., a rattled John Podesta walked out on stage and told everyone to “head home.” “It’s been a long night and it’s been a long campaign,” he said, “But I can say, we can wait a little longer.” And he went on about the importance of seeing that every vote got counted. Actually it was much worse than that. He was hiding something.
The thing is, Hillary had gone into a rage when she learned she had lost. She was shouting obscenities and throwing things. As has been reported for years, her violent temper got the best of her. Talk about having a temperament ill-suited for having access to the atomic bomb.
Sources have told The American Spectator that on Tuesday night, after Hillary realized she had lost, she went into a rage. Secret Service officers told at least one source that she began yelling, screaming obscenities, and pounding furniture. She picked up objects and threw them at attendants and staff. She was in an uncontrollable rage. Her aides could not allow her to come out in public. It would take her hours to calm down. So Podesta went out and gave his aimless speech. I wish we could report on Bill’s whereabouts but we cannot. We shall work on that.
"Ya just had to be there, I tells ya!"
(Which movie was that line from?)
If any media scum were within earshot, they musta got two earfuls of words that couldn't be repeated in polite company.
12 years?? Far longer than that!
They always accuse others of what they are. Trump was the sexual assaulter, not Bill. Trump had a temperment problem, not Hillary.

... Mrs. Clinton began her political career with her commencement speech at Wellesley College. (Her well-connected roommate having threatened a student strike if Hillary was not allowed to speak.)
But, lest we forget, the most memorable aspect of young Hillary’s speech was her rude and bizarre attack upon the invited speaker, Senator Edward Brooke, the first black American to have been elected to the US Senate. From “American Evita: Hillary Clinton’s Path to Power,” by Christopher Andersen, pp 16-17:
CHAPTER 2 … Hillary was following the day’s main commencement speaker, Massachusetts Senator Edward Brooke. Only two years before, Hillary had campaigned for Brooke, a liberal Republican and an African-American, as president of Wellesley’s Young Republicans.But Hillary had changed. Dropping her prepared text, she wasted no time lambasting her predecessor at the podium. “Senator Brooke,” she began, “part of the problem for empathy with professed goals is that empathy doesn’t do anything.” What her generation wanted now, she said, was action. She ended with a classmate’s poem that damned “The Hollow Men of anger and bitterness.”
Brooke, obviously singled out as one of the “Hollow Men,” was stunned, hurt—and convinced that this was no extemporaneous speech. “As far as I could tell, she was not responding to anything I was saying,” he later observed. “She came that day with an agenda, pure and simple.”
But Hillary claimed she was reacting viscerally to what Brooke had said. He had mentioned the Vietnam War and growing racial tensions only obliquely; for the most part, Hillary said, his was just another “onward-and-upward” graduation speech. But what really rankled Hillary was her perception that the senator’s remarks were somehow pro-Richard Nixon – a call to arms for any self-respecting campus activist in the 1960s.
In response, Hillary offered nothing more than the muddled, sophomoric peace-and-love dogma that was so prevalent on campuses at the time. And, predictably, when it was over, Hillary’s mesmerized classmates leaped up to their feet and cheered.
A sizable number of people in the audience were incensed—including short, sullen Hugh Rodham, a dyed-in-the-wool Republican who admitted that at that moment he wanted to “lie on the ground and crawl away.”
Hillary’s father stiffened when he approached her after the ceremony. His reaction hardly surprised her. Even if she had not ambushed the distinguished senator from Massachusetts, Hillary knew her father—unlike the other dads at Wellesley that day–would never throw his arms around his daughter and tell her he was proud of her…
No matter. Once her father departed for home, she ran to Wellesley’s Lake Waban, doffed her graduation gown to reveal a bathing suit underneath, and—in violation of the college’s strict against swimming in the lake—dived in. When she emerged, her clothes were gone. Wellesley’s president, Ruth Adams, had spotted Hillary swimming and, seething over the sneak attack on Senator Brooke, ordered security to confiscate them.
Adams was not alone. Hugh Rodham fumed about his daughter’s impertinent remarks all the way back to Park Ridge… Some things never change.

Drunk, screaming and crying.
Incomprehensible screaming.
Her long-time friend from childhood finked on her.
Hillary telephoned her and her friend told someone she shouldn’t have.
There are multiple accounts that she and her close aids popped celebratory champagne corks at 6 pm. Given her history of alcohol, that means Hillary would have been imbibing from then onwards. By midnight she must have been on a real tear.
at least the Spectator is doing leg work.
here’s another
She reacted to losing in one of three ways:
1) non-stop weeping
2) calm acceptance
3) uncontrollable rage
PICK ONE
Another 3:00 am call she missed!
Though I'm sure she was the very last one to believe it, and not until midnight - when she grabbed Podesta by the collar and started screaming at him. :)
What I find interesting is that the media said having Podesta go out there was a smart move until all the votes were counted and it was sure that she lost.
But then a few minutes later, Trump went out there and claimed she had called him to concede.
And the media then didn’t go back and ask, “If she had just conceded to Trump, why did Podesta go out there and not Hillary Clinton”
You may very well be right. The Thursday before Election Day I met a friend for beers in the Village. It’s a weekly three hour ritual. His daughter is married to a guy whose mom is a 40+ year close friend of Hillary from college. My friend was a Hillary backer and when I joked about how weird this election was, he said, “ I can’t believe how bad this is.” I changed the subject to Fordham football, but Tuesday night as the returns came in, I remembered what he said and I thought, they, the campaign, knew.
Meaningless.
Without a video or audio it’s hearsay.
Likely true but no solid verification.
We hear all these stories, stories.
I wonder how she was calm enough to call Trump or what she sounded like to him. I didn’t have TV or live online that night just clicking for updates on Vote total sites and following FR.
Any body heard more about her call to Trump? I suppose everyone always says they loser was gracious and stuff.
I just remember it seemed not long after Podesta told people to go home it would be more hours until it was clear how some states would go, that people on FR were saying Trump won and that he was gonna come and speak.
BJ headed for tall grass. He has seen it before.
and yet...everyone with a phone in their pocket, all those custodial workers to whom a $10K payment for a few photos would have been a big deal - not one picture. Not one person even grapped a selfie with the destruction in the background...
Hard to believe.
Let's be a bit more poetic: But what really rankled Hillary Canckles
No matter. Once her father departed for home, she ran to Wellesley’s Lake Waban, doffed her graduation gown to reveal a bathing suit underneath, and—in violation of the college’s strict against swimming in the lake—dived in. When she emerged, her clothes were gone.
What has been seen in the mind's eye cannot be unseen.
She was medicated with Zoloft, Celexa or Prozac and had to wait for the effects to wear off before presenting herself to the world.
Am curious to know whether her secret service protection and all the trappings diminish because she is no longer a candidate and back in her role as the wife of a former president.
Agree.
What I was attempting to say was this was the attitude of a 12-year-old.
A disturbed 12-year old. A 12-year-old who can't stand to lose at checkers (and hasn't the patience to learn chess) will knock all the pieces off the board rather that concede a loss.
Game over.
