The moment Hillary Clinton was forced to give up her dream (Feel-good story of the day)
The New York Post ^ | April 30, 2017 | Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes

Posted on 04/30/2017 8:21:50 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Every detail was designed to mark Hillary Clinton’s moment in history — from the glass ceiling at Manhattan’s Javits Center, where her supporters were gathered, to her and hubby Bill’s suite at The Peninsula hotel, selected so she could personally see Trump Tower, home to the foe she was set to crush. Then came the voter returns. In this exclusive excerpt from their fascinating new book “Shattered,’’ political reporters Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes take readers inside Hillary Clinton’s world on the night that changed her life — and the nation — forever.

Hillary’s communications team decamped to the Javits Center in the Hell’s Kitchen section of Manhattan, where preparations for her victory party were being made. The venue, which would fill with Hillary aides, donors, friends and well-wishers over the course of the day, was chosen in large part because of its distinctive feature: a glass ceiling. If everything went as planned, it would be the glass ceiling of the presidency that lay shattered under Hillary by the end of the night.

A handful of key aides remained in the campaign’s Brooklyn headquarters for Election Night, but the top brass, including [campaign manager] Robby Mook, John Podesta, and Cheryl Mills, joined Hillary and Bill Clinton on their floor at the top of The Peninsula hotel, a five-star facility a block from Trump Tower. The Clintons had their own suite, and the rest of the floor had been rented out for staff workspace and for aides, including Podesta and Abedin, to have private bedrooms.

At the start of the night, the Javits Center was electric: it had the buzz of a debut performance on Broadway. Outside, a seemingly endless line formed down 40th Street, near artists who had sketched Hillary’s portrait next to Obama’s and vendors who sold buttons....

So they picked a venue with a glass ceiling so they could have her deliver one corny glass ceiling line?

Amateurs.

I think you’ve probably already seen the best parts of the book posted here. Hope you have a better opinion of it than Leslie Eastman did.

http://legalinsurrection.com/2017/04/book-review-shattering-the-positive-blurbs-about-shattered/

“The long answer: The book will be difficult to read, because you will be constantly rolling your eyes at the insults about President Donald Trump and and shaking your head at the Clinton-supporting non-sequiturs offered by authors, both of whom are premier members of the elite media.”

............

“If you do order the book, then probably the best way to enjoy it is to first read the last two chapters focused on President Trump’s shocking election night victory and its aftermath. They are the most entertaining and least annoying portions of Shattered.

However, unless you are a total political geek, save your money and your time and pass on this brazen attempt to make a buck and gain profession redemption for the authors’ original campaign coverage.”

“I understand,” she said. But she used her place in history as a shield in the same way Mook just had with Simas. “I’m not ready to go give this speech.” Though she focused her pushback on the nature of her remarks — How should she frame the election of Donald Trump? What would she say to little girls and elderly women who treated her as a champion? Could she hit the right notes? — the effect was the same. Hillary wasn’t quite ready to put an end to the dream she’d pursued for at least the past decade.

Nonsense. She was drunk, screaming and throwing things like a wounded banshee high on painkillers and estrogen ...

Very unexpected that she would apologize to Obama for losing. Kinda wonder how accurate that part is.

Hillary was the sorest loser in history!

Her most ardent sycophants were in the ballroom, waiting to see her.

Instead of deigning to grace herself with her highness' presence, she sent out her stooge John Podesta to deliver the bad news.

She wasn't woman enough to "accept the results of our democratic system" as she accused Trump of doing.

Instead, she got loaded on Crystal champagne, and slept off a hangover, only to appear the NEXT DAY to address her loyalists.

Hell, even POS McCain gave congrats to Obama that night.

At the very least she is the RUDEST candidate in the history of the Republic.

She didn't give a feces about the people who voted for her.

Childish leftists and their camp-followers believe their own propaganda. If they were fighting a war, they would draw really nice pictures of tanks and guns, instead of having the real thing.

Indeed but do you remember the cancellation of the fireworks a few days previously.Somebody knew she was going to lose and I wonder if they kept that from her.If so that makes the loss even sweeter.

"Now, as Trump made his way to the podium at the Hilton, Bill chomped on the back end of a cigar. "

Marinated no doubt.

All I can say after reading this book excerpt, and looking at all those sad faces in the photos at the link is: Whoopee!! It was more fun than a barrel of donkeys!! Can we do it again????

Reluctantly, she rose from her seat and took the phone from Abedin’s hand.

“Mr. President,” she said softly. “I’m sorry.”


I can not think of a sorrier person than cankles.

Wow! An amazing, feel-good story with a true fairytale ending where the handsome knight on the white charger slays the evil witch with one blow of his magic sword!

” No..Hillary’s in trouble!!!....Trump’s numbers weren’t just big, they were unreal. In rural Polk County, smack-dab in the center of the state,...... Hillary would collect 3,000 more votes than Obama did in 2012 — BUT Trump would add more than 25,000 votes to Mitt Romney’s total!!!......... In Pasco County, a swath of suburbs north of Tampa–St. Petersburg, Trump outran Romney by 30,000 votes!!!

(Golly I love looking at this!)
