The face of defeat: A weary-looking Hillary Clinton makes her first appearance since her concession, and admits that 'coming here wasn't the easiest thing for me' and she 'wanted to curl up and never leave the house again'

Hillary Clinton attended the Children's Defense Fund's gala in Washington, D.C on Wednesday evening It was the failed presidential candidate's first public appearance since she conceded to Donald Trump a week ago She considered cancelling her speech, saying she 'wanted to curl up with a book or our dogs and never leave the house again' Said she drew inspiration from the organization's founder and her mentor Marian Wright Edelman, who introduced her as the 'people's president' Clinton also talked about her mother, Dorothy, who died before her daughter became the Democratic nominee for president She tip-toed around her opponent as she delivered her address blocks away from his recently opened hotel and his new home Donald Trump did not come up, though she appeared to make reference to him when she speculated about the nation's 'uncertain future' A weary-looking Hillary Clinton said Wednesday evening at her first public appearance since she conceded to Donald Trump that she considered cancelling her speech to the children's advocacy group but kept the commitment out of respect for her mentor.

'I will admit coming here tonight wasn't the easiest thing for me,' she said at the Children's Defense Fund's gala in Washington, D.C.

The failed presidential candidate added: 'There have been a few times this past week when all I wanted to do is just to curl up with a good book or our dogs and never leave the house again.'

One said they're still on payroll through the end of this week.

“Her hate filled eyes are quite telling”

Pointing in different directions none the less.

She must be getting ready to enter a Dr. Evil look-alike competition.

Where’s here ‘mini-me’?

Quick, someone get her a shark with frickin laser beams attached to their heads.

"Grandma got run over by a Trump train ..."

It would be nice to see graphic of a Trump Train with an engine number 306, the number of electoral votes Trump will get.

At this point she is just hoping to salvage the Clinton Inc. influence peddling business. Seriously, how is Chelsea going to continue to live in the manner in which she is accustomed if they have no influence to sell?

Imagine working the past 15-20 years focused solely on getting elected President and doing it in a crooked corrupt way AND losing

... to someone who had never run for any office before.

The Clintons make his criminal father look like a chump street pimp dealer. After Dinkins, Koch, Bloomberg, DiBlasio etc, the leftists who run NYC don’t care who they elect, as long as it’s a commie-fascist scumbag.

“You know, if she knew she was going to be in front of some cameras, should could have at least spruced her self up.”

Oh. Thats the spriced up version.

BTW, whats this, ‘first appearance’ business?

She has to go away, no?

Wait, its the Clintons. I was told by a wise aunt way back in 1991,they are never going away

She is setting the stage for “you can’t send me to prison, I’m a very sick woman!”

This is the tactic the mafioso uses when the law finally closes in on them. Suddenly you have these once-feared gangsters hobbling into court with walkers, braces and oxygen tanks.

I was quite shocked by how awful she looked. Didn’t even fix her hair or seem to have done anything for makeup.

A vision of one's near future can do that to you

Liberal students at the University of Iowa elected Ed Mezvinsky to congress back in the early 70s.
I was there...

I was at Drake in the mid-60s, and it was almost as bad a lib sewer as UI and ISU.

You think that is bad - you should see the portrait of her that is hidden in her attic.

She had to go see her doc for another treatment for her Parkinsons disease. She didn’t want another one of those spaced out episodes with the vacant expression on her face, head wobbling around like a bobble head. Were her handlers close by to catch her?

If you say so. She does have her fans and supporters on here. And they are legion. They always stand alert and ready to defend their goddess.
