Inside the Last Days of the Hillary Clinton Campaign
Time ^ | 3/26/18 | Palmieri

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.

It was probably similar to the last days of the Hitler regime in the Reichstag bunker...

“She was a gracious loser putting the needs of her country above her own.”

Gracious? Surely you jest.

And how is it somehow noble that she put the country’s needs above her own? She lost. Jeez.

The rank opportunism of these people was never more on display.

This obsequious loser jerk Palmieri managed the billion dollar "sure-thing" candidate Hillary who lost an election she had bought and paid for.

So we find the losers----far from examining the reasons why-----but manipulating public opinion, using the loss as a platform to advance their putrid agenda.

"You lost, you idiot, go home and shut up."

She’s not jesting.

And don’t call her Shirley.

“She was a gracious loser putting the needs of her country above her own.”

The key word in that sentence is “was”.

Palmieri has some facts wrong.

She says Huma’s “then-husband” Weiner...

No, Huma IS STILL MARRIED TO WEINER.

They are doing the Clinton thing — so they can’t testify against each other.

I read this article. The author lives in a very different parallel universe where Hillary Clinton is just another respectable, altruistic woman everyone can actually like, and she lost simply because she was up against a lot of mean misogynists.

Interesting insight into the minds of the opposition.

Logic, apparently, is not their strong suit.

Hate to clue in Palmieri as she should know this.
No matter how you read it, or read into it, Hillary’s concession speech was actually a modification of what was to be her acceptance speech.

Hillary was a "gracious loser"? Hillary put the needs of her country above her own?

Yeah sure, Hillary always put the nation's needs above her own. As in these instances:

No place on the globe is untouched by the Clintons' monstrous greed.
