Hillary Clinton had concession speech ready ... but she was too upset to give it
Evening Standard ^ | November 9, 2016 | David Gardner

And when the moment came early today to admit that her lifelong dream of becoming America’s first woman president had been dashed, she simply couldn’t face the world.

The devastated Democratic candidate remained locked in her New York hotel room as it became clear that her glass ceiling had come crashing down around her.

And she was left ruing what could have been while Donald Trump was celebrating his unlikely election day triumph on stage at another hotel just two miles across Manhattan.

From what we’ve read via wikileaks, people were likely AFRAID to tell her the truth. I’d LOVE to have been a fly on the wall in that hotel room last night.

That gave me a thought - what if they haven't told her yet that she lost?

She had a “Concussion” Speech and forgot the words...

Much of the Klintoon Foundation’s money will have to be spent repairing her rooms or suites! Hopefully, no one left a weapon near her. I would prefer she stand trial than kill herself.

And in the end she didn't even have the decency to show up and stand there with the people who whole heartedly supported her.

They were crying over her loss, and she never even showed up to say thank you.

Human has to be very afraid. You know Hillary is blaming it all on her.

Now THAT’s a disturbing thought.

The next couple of days might be VERY entertaining if that’s true.

Poor Hillary. 0-2... so close to reaching her lifelong dream, but came up short twice. Just too much for her to handle. Historic first woman president speech thrown on the trash heap. Also, grand plan to see magnificent fireworks through the Javitz Center glass ceiling was a BUST.

It could have been worse for them... they could have been in Benghazi when she stiffed them.

hilLIARy’s disrespect to her supporters by refusing to give the concession speech and having a pederast tell them to go home is really classy. What fools they ALL are. May they ball rot.

Yet, that struck me too.

Misguided or not, all of those volunteers and staffers sitting there busted their humps working for her. She did not even have the decency to face them and say Thank You.

Both of the Clintons owe the devil and it’s getting close to time to pay up. They need to beg forgiveness from all those they’ve hurt. And ask Jesus to buy out their contract.

Don’t you know the Secret Service gave a huge sigh of relief early this morning when the election was finally called for Trump?

Proves her campaign was always all about herself. Her supporters were “with her,” but she ultimately wasn’t with them.

You nailed it. Hillary is one of those, ‘It’s NEVER my fault,’ people. She desperately needs a scapegoat, and right now Huma fills the bill.

It would be no fun to be in Huma’s shoes, that’s for sure.

I don’t believe that we can ever comprehend the destruction and unending sorrow that she has brought about.
