A stony silence turned to sheer horror early Wednesday for Hillary Clinton's supporters at what was meant to be her presidential victory party as it became painfully clear she would not close the gap with Donald Trump.
One by one, states turned Republican red on the interactive map of the country. One by one, dejected Clinton fans left in tears without even seeing their beloved candidate.
"It's a nightmare," said Jeannette Barbasch, a 50-something Clinton backer leaving the cavernous Javits Center on the west side of Midtown Manhattan, which had been decked out in American flags for Clinton's expected win.

- 'Nut case' -
"We are disgusted, embarrassed, we are sorry on behalf of our country that the white male uneducated vote has spoken today," railed Celia Rowlson-Hall, a 32-year-old filmmaker.
"We, as the other half of the country that believes in love, unity, and fairness -- we have to gather together even stronger to fight against this man who only represents hate and bigotry and xenophobia."

"Trump is a nut case -- he is all over the place," Shaw said.
The real danger for Shaw comes from Trump's running mate Mike Pence, who she deemed "crazy."

"Our lives are not safe -- as queer women, as brown women," she told AFP, struggling to put her feelings into words.
Many spoke about what they felt was total ignorance among Trump supporters.
"I think these people probably flunked out of school -- they don't know history, they don't understand the world," said Elmy Bermejo, who traveled to the Big Apple from San Francisco for the occasion.

"We feel like we live in a bubble -- voting for Trump to me is so shocking."

Yep, the MSM became a self-licking lollipop.
Are they certain those flags didn’t have a hammer and sickle on them?
Tired of people trying to pass off a lack of a college degree as the equivalent of stupidity.
In other words, she's unemployed.
Half the country does not live in reality. That’s what we are up against.
Sorry Jeannette, but we having been living a nightmare for the last 8 years. Enjoy the suck!
The mentally ill Left has a direct pipeline to the Democrat media.
Just lock the doors and have the state declare it a lunatic asylum. Dope these nutjobs up on Thorazine for the next four years. They’re going to need it.
DITTO! (But only single degree here)
I'm perfectly willing to take a history test for Mr Bermejo. I bet I do better than him.
Wonder if they were able to get a refund on their fireworks.
These people are "self-licking lollipops."
You owe me a new keyboard...
:-)
Great simile!..................
And when it came to finally facing her supporters and
the TV cameras when she lost the election where was she?
She was hiding just like she did during the Benghazi
attack and anytime it is inconvenient to face the people.
Hillary Clinton coined the phrase, never underestimate the stupidity of of the American people back during the Clinton Administration and she got beat by finally overestimating the stupidity of the American People.
Obviously, she only overestimated the stupidity of the American people by a very narrow margin
It’s interesting that across the board, they think we are stupid and uneducated.
Totally clueless.
Voted Trump!! And supported him from the beginning.
The media is trying to figure out how to cover their "false polls".
No, they were cancelled past the return date!...................

Irony. Thanks for defining it Elmy.
