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.

Pathetic.
So when is our official celebration?
Tomorrow - Tuesday, election day?
Wednesday - the 8th?
What the heck... I guess I’ll celebrate both days.
Frankly, I have no problem with media political bias as long as it's acknowledged. But the hypocritical pretense that outfits like the NYT, the New Yorker, NBC etc. are "objective" is nauseating.
They shoulda’ come over to my house. I was having a fiesta, laughing, feasting, and dancing like Snoopy with my nose up.

So was I! And while my Trump-hating family was trying to sleep too.

It’s articles like this one that bring back the joy of last year’s election night.
Good times !!!!!!
They offend me daily....
Their agony... it never gets old. I was re-watching Election Night coverage just this weekend, cackling to myself. Best night EVER!
Thanks for posting. Here’s an excerpt you don’t read every day ... puking in a Trump hat.
“Jerry Falwell Jr.: My 17-year-old daughter, Caroline, had been following the election. It’s the first time she’s ever followed politics. And she was so nervous about the result that her stomach got upset. She told her brother, “I think I’m gonna throw up.” So he took off his Trump hat and she threw up in it, right next to Laura Ingraham.”
Me too, but I’m not in a protected class
These “journalist” loons should all be in Gitmo.....or the nearest mental institution.
That gem fell out of the mouth of the now disgraced and in hiding Mark Halperin.
Good God, these people are insane.
AWESOME! Thanks for sharing the link!
Oh man, if we could get a video montage of this I’d pay money for it.
The Young Turks video has MOONBAT 404 down.
They ace the test. For anyone wanting a good laugh and you have not seen these idiots, it is perfect on this day.

Liberals are truly, truly infantile. I mean that as a blunt description and not an insult. They really believe the world should actually revolve around them. They live in a child’s world, one that is narcissistic and codependent.
It is a good article to read. Even if you just look at the pictures in the article they are trying to send a message.These people don’t realize how much they are despised and that it is deserved. They go from supporting Obama to attacking Trump and don’t see their bias.
Univision news anchor Jorge Ramos shared his plan for the Trump presidency, which is to resist and not be neutral."I've been to wars, I've covered the most difficult situations in Latin America. But I needed to digest and to understand what had happened. I came home very late. I turned on the news. I had comfort food—cookies and chocolate milk—the same thing I used to have as a kid in Mexico City," Ramos said. "After that, I realized that I had been preparing all my life for this moment. Once I digested what had happened with Trump and had a plan, which was to resist and report and not be neutral, then I was able to go to bed."
So here is this supposed Mexican news director saying how he is not going to utilize honest journalistic standards. It's his badge -- he flaunts it.
“Reza Aslan: You take your kids to school, you go to the store, you go to the post office, you’re looking around, and you’re thinking, “These people hate me.”
He does get it.

I pray that Jesus comes quickly so that these poor people won’t have to go through this every year! ;-)
