What Hillary Clinton lost was her chance to be the first female US president; what she has gained in the eight years since that wrenching disappointment is less clear. “My life is richer and my spirit is stronger,” she insists, but her new book, Something Lost, Something Gained: Reflections on Life, Love and Liberty, reveals her to be also the victim of lingering PTSD. Brooding about her defeat, she muddles the five-step grieving process and alternates between denial and anger, bargaining and depression. As yet, despite walks in the woods and romps with her grandchildren, she seems not to have arrived at acceptance. Just as Donald Trump continues to grouse about the supposedly stolen election of 2020, so Clinton shadow-boxes her way through endless reruns of her wonky, uncharismatic 2016 campaign.
An FBI official, she relates, recently commiserated with her about Trump’s victory and blamed the bureau for tripping up her candidacy when it reopened an investigation into her emails. Clinton spurns his offer of sympathy, snapping “I would have been a great president”, and stalks away. Later, she elaborates a morbid fantasy about the US in Trump’s second term, with troops in the streets and concentration camps for refugees. In 2016, Trump anatomised American malaise and boasted: “I alone can fix it.” Clinton’s doomy scenario has a corresponding unspoken subtext. “I alone,” she seems to imply, “could have stopped him.”
Deprived of power, she has had to settle for fame, moving in a blinding glare of publicity alongside her buddies Spielberg and Wintour Her sense of entitlement leads her to experiment with appropriate titles for herself, if only the outcome had been different.

PTSD for TDS folks.
She should have been disgraced a long time ago.
When I feel down, I often watch her scowl in defeat and the hysterical reaction of her supporters on the Youtube excerpts of 2016 Election Night.
She’s probably part of the shadow Presidency under biden/harris.
She should stop complaining!
Hillaryous Rotten Criminal a deplorable POS “mythomaniac” sociopath. RIH
Copied from GreenHornet post -
No matter what she says or does, Hillary will spend the rest of her life waking up every morning knowing that, thanks to Donald Trump, she will never, ever, ever be the President of the United States.
Hillary reminds me of an infamous vaudville act, the Cherry Sisters. Their show was called “Something Good, Something Sad”, filled with music, drum pounding, poetry, mouth harp playing and recitations, elicited howls from audiences everywhere.
Go write an acceptance speech and cry to your mother Hillary.
I love the one of her being tossed into the van.
Considering how much misery and unhappiness she has caused for so many other people, Hillary’s own unhappiness and her wallowing in post-election depression is sorely deserved.
>>she will never, ever, ever be the President of the United States.<<
Ahhh, that has such a nice ring to it. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

My life is richer and my spirit is stronger.

I bet the Clinton Foundation did too.
She remains tied to her Promethean rock, unable to get free. Her election loss eats away at her every hour of every day. Even her best friends are tired of hearing her bitch about her loss. I’m sure Bill Clinton has long since told her to put a sock in it.
