On Thursday, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta, held a conference call with devastated staffers that put the rosiest possible frame on a calamitous picture.
The message to the dozens of mostly young, sleep-deprived and shell-shocked aides: We did everything we could have. We wouldn't have changed a thing. You should still be proud.
Inside the Democratic National Committee headquarters, which sits half a mile south of the U.S. Capitol, eyes rolled and heads shook in frustration and disbelief.
Clinton's loss at the hands of Donald Trump amounted to the most surprising outcome in the history of modern electoral politics. Of course things could've been done differently. And ignoring that fact wasn't going to make the searing defeat any easier.
"We are pissed at them and state parties are pissed at them because they lost due to arrogance," a top DNC staffer tells U.S. News, sharing the candid sentiment suffusing the high levels of the committee in exchange for anonymity.

Oh yeah....I’ll sit still for that.
Thanks for the link. I have not been following the news from Dutch sources, but will look at some others as well. German newspapers are very anti-Trump.
I’m still giddy about the win!!! Excuse my happy posting!
Tomorrow nite, Trump Victory Cookout at my house! I still didn’t take my yard signs down. How annoying! And I put smileyface yellow balloons on my Hillary for Prison signs.
Again, how annoying!!!
Her phoniness, arrogance, hypocritical, lying fat ass is what did it. We won! Now go back to your mansion we bought and STFU!
Oh yeah....Ill sit still for that.
(still smiling!)
She actually believes, absolutely, that loud, hysterical repetition is actually an effective tool for "persuasion."
It never has been, never will be, never can be. But her personality will permanently reject the obvious.
If that doesn't confirm insanity...
Party of Lenin; Iron Discipline.
Finally they get something right.....
White Women-—YES
That, and she phoned it in. She never really campaigned, whereas Trump hit 4 or 5 cities a day.
Yeah, but I had to shudder at the quality of whackjobs they are looking to take the reins.
That’s one of the greatest sentences I’ve heard! Bravo.
That only reinforces the diagnosis of insanity displayed via the unbelievable arrogance.
She always had to have the last word; in the end that saved us all, and perhaps our republic too.
I believe the DNC itself is to blame as well.
The protesters, if they were not counterfeit, and had an ounce of integrity, would be going after and rejecting their own corrupt party.
The DNC rigged their primary just like the GOP tried to do to their own. We rejected that and nominated Trump in spite of it.
And yes, hilzebub is arrogant beyond belief. The DNC doesn’t really care about that though. They’re trying to distance themselves from the ugly truth that they fouled it up.
You could almost feel sorry for hilzebub. They will lay everything off on her in the end.
Maybe they should just shitcan Saul’s moldy old tome and find another strategy.
The DNC just shoved hilzebub down everyone’s throat anyway so they’re more corrupt than the GOP.
I know it won’t happen but if they want to know what happened they need to shut down D.C. Turn it into a museum of things that were. Send all the reps and senators back to their home states and let them mingle with real people for a change. Let them deal with real people banging on their doors Day in and day out instead of lobbyists. That’s the only way they’ll ever get it.
Okay.
Arrogance? Maybe.
To me, their biggest failing is that they believe their own propaganda - and that put them at a great disadvantage.
In all contests, be it politics, the sports field, or war, you have to know your competitor/enemy.
And it crept into our party. So many “Republicans For Hillary” - Pantsuit Nation, for example. Organizing a Million Mom March on 1/21.
The American public finally realized it was being screwed over by the Washington establishment.
The American public decided to fight back. End of story.
Don't forget Pelosi.
She's a relentless rainmaker that gets massive quantities of donations.
In return for her largess, no democrat is allowed to be to the right of her and get any funding, no matter what their constituency.
