Journalists Retell Their Election Night Horror Stories
'People were throwing up. People were on the floor crying'

Reporters, editors, and other members of the media are reliving their election night horror stories in a new exclusive detailing what journalists and figures in the presidential campaigns themselves experienced on the night of Nov. 8, 2016.
Esquire interviewed 40 people who either covered or worked on one of the campaigns during the 2016 presidential election. The individuals gave their personal stories about the unexpected election of President Donald Trump and the defeat of Hillary Clinton. Most of the reporters and editors who were interviewed expressed shock and horror at Trump's upset victory.
Here are some of their stories.
Rebecca Traister, writer at large for New Yorker Magazine, shared her feelings on being confident about a Clinton victory and how she subsequently felt "so alone" when it was apparent that Clinton would lose. She also observed Clinton supporters throwing up and crying on the floor, according to Esquire, which recounted the progression of her thoughts throughout the night.
They were serving, like, $12 pulled pork sandwiches [at the Javits Center]. It was nuts, people were bouncing off the walls. Everyone genuinely believed she was going to win. I don't know if it made me feel more confident or not.
I felt so alone, I knew it was done. I was by myself on the floor. I started to cry.
I was thinking everything from, "I'm gonna have to rewrite my piece" to, "Can we stay in the U.S.?" I texted my husband, "Tell Rosie to go to bed. I don't want her to watch."
People were throwing up. People were on the floor crying.

What must their lives be like that they have so much time for this?!?
BEST ELECTION EVER!!!
All over the BPD psychopath that they loved.
Such a shame.
Their tears put me in the holiday mood:)
WINNING !! ;o)
Imagine how derisive and mocking these people would be towards us if we had acted the way they did if Trump had lost......
I love it! A year later and these people still don’t know what hit them. Good.
They still don’t understand Trump and his voters as shown in all their Trump-bashing stories since the election.
Sucks to be them.
“Objective” journalists just being “objective”—nothing to see here. :-)
LOL so funny! Hey Snowflake, when you get drunk, you throw up! How is that supposed to impress me!?!?! You won't get any pity from here.
‘Tis the season to be jolly. I’ve been on YouTube watching Fox News election night coverage. It never gets old.
People were throwing up. People were on the floor crying.
Not nearly enough of ‘em jumped off of buildings.
Their tears are sweet and delicious, no?
