As it became clear that Donald Trump would become the next leader of the free world, Hillary Clinton called President Obama — and apologized.
"Mr. President, I'm sorry," Clinton told the sitting commander in chief as her unexpected election loss became reality, according to a Washington Post review of a new book about the Democratic presidential candidate's failed 2016 campaign.
Just minutes before that somber apology, Clinton had made another regretful phone call to the man who once labeled her a "nasty woman."
"Congratulations, Donald," Clinton told her opponent, according to the book, "Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign."
The book, set to be released on Tuesday, also recounts how Obama urged Clinton to admit defeat shortly after it became clear that Trump had won Wisconsin around 11 p.m.
"You need to concede," Obama apparently told his former secretary of state over the phone.
"Shattered" goes into great detail about the chaos that enveloped at Clinton's Brooklyn headquarters on the night of Nov. 8. It also spotlights character traits of several campaign officials, including manager Robby Mook and chairman John Podesta.
But, according to the Post, the book conspicuously leaves out details about Russia's role in the election and whether cyber hacks ordered by the Kremlin had anything to do with Clinton's loss.
The U.S. intelligence community has concluded that Russia launched an extensive cyber campaign to help Trump win the White House. Congress is currently investigating whether Trump campaign officials colluded with the Russians.
To bad she didn’t say, “Mr. President, I’m sorry, I will now do the honorable thing and kill myself”
“her unexpected election loss”
It wasn’t “unexpected” by me! I just knew Trump would win and that it wouldn’t even be that close.
Hillary takes the high road in this book.
Other reports contradict that. Her failure to concede and Podesta giving her cover would seem to support the latter.
The left is frantically trying to decide how much they need to prop up Obama (without making the stains on their knees too obvious and understanding that his regime was a complete failure) at the same time they're trying to explain away Hillary's loss.
What makes it really great is that everyone knows what happened, everyone saw it with their own eyes, and now only question is, "How much will they debase themselves to save face?"
The answer of course is, "A lot!"
So awesome to behold.
I read it.
