Clinton apologized to Obama on election night
NY POST ^ | April 17, 2017 | Max Jaeger

Hillary Clinton had to eat humble pie twice on election night.

Clinton apologized to President Obama for her bruising loss — right after calling Donald Trump to offer him “congratulations,” according to a new book chronicling her 2016 presidential bid called “Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign.”

“Mr. President, I’m sorry,” she said, according to a Washington Post review of the book due out Tuesday.

The White House urged Clinton to concede as Trump claimed battleground states — some by slim margins — because Obama wanted to avoid a messy recount.

because Obama wanted to avoid a messy recount.

"Messy recounts" would've further served their purpose of discrediting Trump. You know the mainstream media wouldn't report anything too detrimental, only enough to plant seeds of doubt.

I don't believe any of these stories--they're being presented to show Obama as a statesman, and Clinton as a classy, magnanimous candidate who only wanted "what's best for the country."

Bull.

This story....

Doesn’t sit right with me. Hillary does not humble herself to apologize to anyone.

So...this must be Obama’s version being told?

She’s keeping her options open. I don’t think she has a realistic shot until 2024. By that time, nature should have taken its course.

She was sorry because all of their work to infiltrate every corner of government with crime bosses who would keep them all safe from prosecution went down the toilet.

Each and every day, I give Thanks to God that Mrs. Clinton is NOT sitting in OUR White House.

Whenever I'm feeling down, I like to cheer myself up watching YouTube videos of the Javitz Center on election night.

Wasn't Hillary the one who had the experience and temperament to take those 2 AM crisis phone calls? I guess she didn't.

I wonder if the Clintons will try again in 2020. How many times have we thought the Clintons were politically done, yet they come back?? But then you wonder, will leading Democrats and the party establishment grease the skids for Hillary again in 2020, or would she have to actually work hard to get the nomination again in 2020? Hillary will be 73 in 2020, so you might think time has passed her by. But since Hillary has a religious faith that she is destined to be president someday, can she give it up?

I understand what you're saying, and yes, the Clintons have a way of coming back just when everyone thinks they're done. However, even they can't hold back the hands of time. It wouldn't surprise me if neither Bill or Hillary is still among the living in 2020. Bill looks horrible these days, and during the campaign, it was obvious that Hillary has some serious health issues. Even if she is still around and in reasonably good shape in 2020, I don't think she can convince the party to back her for a third run at the White House. A lot of younger party members feel she stole the nomination from Bernie Sanders, and will never forgive her for that. The party establishment backed her to the hilt, only to see her on the losing end of what many called the biggest upset in the history of American politics. They don't want to get burned yet again. Also, President Trump's approval ratings are rising despite the fact that the left has hit him with everything they've got. By 2020, he will be an even more formidable candidate that he was in 2016.

I like the part of where thousands of her supporters were standing for 8-10 hours waiting for her to come out and speak to them and this b*tch stood them all up!

Just classy!

I highly doubt Hellary apologized to anyone with the state of mind she was in after realizing her loss. No way.

No one talks about (or dares to diss her) for not standing before all on election night giving a condolence/concession speech .she had to sent Podesta out instead...........if a Republican did that the media would have a fit!

Hmmm.

“They played the race card on me.” - Bill Clinton (America’s first black president).

Lots of love there.

LOL. Well, legend has it that you need to drive a stake through the heart of a vampire to kill it off.

And, to kill a werewolf, you need a gun with a silver bullet in it to kill the werewolf for good.

LOL, maybe Hillary’s a vampire??????

I doubt she has ever apologized to anyone for anything.
