I’ve seen stories along these lines before, but I remain skeptical.
The thing is, she was not expecting to win. That became clear when she cancelled the planned victory fireworks show in NYC about a week before the election. Although her campaign gave some face-saving excuse, it was clearly just an excuse—they can’t do fireworks shows in NYC? What happens every July 4 and January 1?
President Trump has made this observation, too, on Twitter. She cancelled the fireworks because she expected to lose.
This does not really fit with the stories that she threw a major tantrum the night she actually lost. Sure, she hoped to win anyway. Sure, she was disappointed even though she knew she was losing. That doesn’t equate to major, full-scale meltdown.
That said, I do believe that she has a violent temper—there are too many witnesses who have described it to think otherwise. And we are extremely fortunate that she did not win. Look at the violent fascistic behavior of her supporters. Where would we be if those thugs were in charge? And the whole world dodged a bullet when we prevented her from getting her finger on the nuke button. Since she made a campaign promise to go to military war with Russia (a theme that the left refuses to drop), does anyone doubt that she’d be sending troops over to fight now, if she had won?
“The thing is, she was not expecting to win.”
Hillary was/is a legend in her own mind!
I disagree. HRC did expect to win the election. The WashPo has reported that HRC and her inner circle, on the afternoon of Election Day, were popping champagne on her plane. I believe the decision to cancel the fireworks was was made by someone else and approved only reluctantly by HRC, who was persuaded that, even after she won, it would look arrogant that they hard ordered the fireworks ahead of time.
Everything I've read indicates that HRC and a few of her closest sycophants were in denial with how appealing Trump was to so many working and middle class people in the flyover states, while Bill Clinton understood that, which is why he was kept at arm's length from the inner circle.
On the “cancelling” of the fireworks.
There were reports about a week before the election about the fireworks and it started to look like she was taking the win for granted. So word came out that the fireworks were canceled but I always wondered whether they really were cancelled. (just a hunch). If she had won would the fireworks display had gone off? It could have been easily explained as someone didn’t get the memo about cancelling. Even if the fireworks were against the law would anyone have prosecuted Hillary?
There were reports that the campaign spent $3 million on lifting stage that would have raised her up on the night of the election to make it appear she went through a glass ceiling with clear plastic pieces coming down from the ceiling.
All in all, I think if she would have won, the fireworks display would have gone on. Thank goodness we will never really know.
