It's tough to see your "hero" lose.

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?

It's tough to see your "hero" lose.
Couldn’t agree more.
“They were never going to let me be president.”
THAT’S RIGHT, HILDABEAST! NOW GO AWAY!
I don't even remember the context, but I think whenever she dropped her "Why aren't I ahead by 50 points...??" comment, she knew through her internal polling, she was going to lose.
I think her only purpose now is to make a certain portion of the American electorate feel bad that they didn't vote for a woman when they had the chance. It's irrelevant whether or not she was qualified, or whether people trusted her; her goal now is to make these would-be woman voters feel remorseful, and ensure they vote for the female candidate next time.
As late as 9:00pm Pacific Time on the West Coast, I was still leery she was going to pull it out.
If Trump had lost one more (than he did) of the last ten states, he would have probably lost the election.
Funny how they don’t mention the physical attacks Hillary must have attempted on her own staff, or even the trashing of her own hotel suite.
And she bestowed that honor upon herself, as no one else would. 8>)
I think she knew days before the election she was going to lose.
The “everyday americans” part cracked me up. Fact is, it’s insulting. A better phrase would have been “citizens of america” or “American Citizens”. But, of course, that would have disenfranchised many of their strongest supporters and they couldn’t have that.
And no, I’m not making a joke. I think they KNEW full well they could not talk about american “citizens”, so they came up with that lame “jeveryday” crap.
Heh-heh. The rest of that line is “instead of a bum, which is what I am.”
Would love to see the video of the supposed 1 million dollar bottle of champagne hitting the 100 inch OLED TV donated by the arabs...
“:^)
‘Hillary Clinton so far ahead in polls that she ‘doesn’t even think about’ Donald Trump anymore’
And you KNOW there are smart phone videos of the (many) tantrums she’s had around her staff, bans notwithstanding.
Like old nuclear test films, they’re sure to surface, if only many years after the fact.
“I’m With Them”!
If she had been as calm about her loss as the article lies to make us believe she would have given a concession speech that night.
Instead it’s far more likely that no one was able to stop the screaming and flailing.
As I recall, Hillary nominated herself for uniparty Dem presidential candidate.
But it was probably the RINOs turn for uniparty president.
