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.

I just use a DeSantis IWB holster, um, er ... for pocket pistols.
Bitches....
Between the dancing and fireworks, we took a brief moment to realize and revel in just how unhappy our domestic enemies were.
It means “permissible” and refers to a Muslim diet. Did Google block you?
Best election ever
And I went to sleep in peace that night.
I should have been been handing out razor blades.
We should be mailing razor blades to all these drama queens.
I was with about 50 poll workers watching the returns on 6 different channels at same time, my best memory of the night is watching them announce for Trump on the liberal channels
Thanks for the delicious memories, suckers!!
My wife and I watched two hours of collective video clips from that night yesterday.
We both realized the bullet we dodged and of how biased everyone else was against Trump.
And we laughed like silly at their crestfallen demeanor when it was clear Hell lost.
Not catching the point your trying to make? I know what it means and was referring to the $12 pulled pork sandwich.
Paging the Boo Hoo girl
Oh and Kugle, Remnick and all the rest of you other propagandists, GFY!!!!!!!!
Delicious. My ecstasy over their agony.
I thought I would enjoy the article like a fine wine, but even leftist tears did little for me. The author interviewed mostly women, and no Trump supporters. Meh.
What a tragic glut of tearful tantrums.
It is fun to relive the schadenfreude.
What a bunch of insane LOSER drama queens, they have not moved on at all.
LOSERS!
LOSERS!
LOSERS!
“Hillary served pork sandwiches? Two key demographics in her base wouldnt find that kosher or hallal.”
And they continue to be shocked that she lost. Totally politically tone deaf. Bubba would’ve been smarter, I think. Pork. Jews. Muslims. ...sigh...
You dont get the irony of anything pork being served at a place named for Jewish senator?
Notice how are the stories aren’t from “real people?”
Stories are entirely from brain-dead metrosexual leftist media-types living in their bubble of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
LEAST representative group of Americans ever.
