Clinton: I wanted my supporters to give Trump 'a chance'
The Hill ^ | October 25, 2017 | Max Greenwood

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that she had wanted her supporters to give President Trump "a chance" after he was elected in November, rather than going into a "defensive crouch."

"I thought we should give a chance — we had to give an open mind — to the new president. And I meant it," she said in remarks reported by ABC News. "I didn't want everybody who voted for me just immediately going into kind of a defensive crouch."

"Let's see, maybe there will be a pivot, a move away from the horrible rhetoric, the divisive, insulting rhetoric that had fueled his campaign from the first day," she recalled thinking.

Clinton said that after the election she thought her supporters should wait to see whether the real estate mogul's rhetoric on the campaign trail was genuine or simply a way to "consolidate his position in the Republican Party."

"Maybe that's what he felt he had to do to win, so let's give the guy a chance," Clinton said, recalling her thoughts after the election.

"Well, that did not last long," she continued. "And it didn't last long because, clearly, as Maya Angelou said, when people show you who they are, believe them the first time."

Clinton and Trump clashed bitterly in the 2016 presidential election, and some supporters of the former secretary of State's presidential bid have been vocal in their opposition to Trump since he took office.

But your honor, I'm innocent. I was framed.
It wasn't my fault.
I ran out of gas.
I had a flat tire.
I didn't have money for cab fare.
My suits didn't come back from the cleaners.
An old friend came in from out of town.
There was an earthquake.
There was a terrible flood.
Locusts ...
It wasn't my fault.
I SWEAR !!

Just keep blabbing Hillary. You are actually getting more despicable by the day, and it didn’t seem possible.

As I understand Mr Trump way of thinking, pissing him off will make him enraged and more determined to come back at you. He may play nice with you during the interim, but watch out for when that hammer is going to hit you from out of nowhere.

During the election when he was being mocked & ridiculed for running against 15 established republican big dogs and again when he got the nomination to run against Hillary, at times I thought I could see steam coming out his ears just before he said something that would make his fans go wild.

Lastly, it takes a lot of effort & patience to keep his cool, he's endured more sh!t than what 99% of folks has never faced before, God willing and with our prayers may he again ride on the heads & necks of his enemies!
