‘They Were Never Going to Let Me Be President’
New York Times ^ | April 20, 2018 | By AMY CHOZICK

Subtitle: Covering Hillary Clinton’s campaign from before it started to the very last moment.

Things were already looking bad when Chelsea Clinton popped the Champagne. It was just after 9 p.m. on election night and she was having her hair and makeup done in the family’s suite at the Peninsula hotel. She stopped to pour what somebody told me was Veuve Clicquot into everyone’s glasses, figuring that in a couple of hours Donald Trump’s run of early victories in red states (West Virginia, Oklahoma, Alabama) would end and the map would turn back in her mom’s favor.

Three hours later, the Rust Belt was awash in red, and somebody had to tell Hillary Clinton.

Robby Mook, the drained and deflated campaign manager, told his boss she was going to lose. She didn’t seem all that surprised.

“I knew it. I knew this would happen to me,” she said, now within a couple of inches of Mr. Mook’s ashen face. “They were never going to let me be president.”

In July 2013, Jill Abramson, the former executive editor of The New York Times, put me on the “Hillary beat” ahead of the 2016 election. It was 649 days before Mrs. Clinton would announce she was running for president again, 1,226 days before she would lose to Mr. Trump.

Every major life decision in my 20s and 30s — when to get married, where to buy an apartment, whether to freeze my eggs until after the election — had revolved around a single looming question: What about Hillary Clinton?

Man, that is just sad and pathetic.

LOL! I guess we can now add “they” to the Shrillary blame-game list. Has she reached 100 excuses yet?!

Hillary didn’t react like that.

Instead, she was a screaming banshee at the thought she might lose.

Who’s she gonna blame when she fails to get the nomination in 2020? We know the higher ups and the powerbrokers in the Democrat Party are afraid of the woman, but there is no way they’re gonna let her get the nomination. The Dems are gonna implode internally during the next presidential nomination race!

“They were never going to let me be President”

That attitude is EXACTLY why you lost BITCH because you thought the office of POTUS was going to be handed to you on a silver platter which is why you rarely campaigned, rarely gave interviews, rarely held rallies while Trump was out there 24/7 busting his butt. Why doesn’t anyone in Washington have to gonads to tell his effin bitch to STFU once and for all? She’s not a monarch, she’s a two bit lawyer and serial felon who should be doing life in prison

As sickly as she appears to be, that might not be an issue.

Always someone else’s fault with this ... person.

It’s never, ever a long, hard look in the mirror.

She should be grateful she’s not in prison already, as you or I or anyone of us out here would already be for what she did.

Yep, I’ve said that many times. If he does nothing else, just him winning made him the greatest POTUS in USA history, wihout question the country would have been finished if she won.
