In the early hours of Wednesday morning, a woman stood in between a row of satellite trucks and a concrete wall outside the Javits Center in New York City—the Hillary Clinton’s “victory party”—sobbing and screaming into her cellphone, “How are we losing?!”
The answer on the other end was received by a wail.
And later that morning, the world learned that despite all the polling, all the momentum, and a second-to-none campaign operation, Hillary Clinton lost to a flaxen-haired maybe-billionaire best known for starring in an NBC reality-television show.
The Clinton campaign had hoped that the glass ceiling of the Javits Center would become the night’s enduring symbol. But instead, its basement cafeteria became a microcosm of the Clinton campaign.
Late into the night, grim Clinton supporters huddled around televisions on folding chairs, watching with blank faces as cable news commentators delivered blow after blow. And when Kelly Clarkson’s “What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger” anthem played over the speakers, it sounded more like a taunt than a battlecry. Many supporters didn’t want to talk. Instead, they hunched over their iPhones and beers.
Lani Brandon, an environmental attorney from Attica, New York, drank Barefoot cabernet sauvignon from a tiny plastic bottle as the results rolled in. She volunteered on Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign, and recalled her response to that loss with admiration.
“Even when she was conceding, she did it with class and elegance,” Brandon said. “This election alone, with him running, it has created—or maybe made people aware of—the hatred that already existed.”
Many were visibly misty-eyed.
“You’ve gotta make it quick,” said New Yorker Frank Capalbo when approached, “because I’m about to break out in tears.”
He loved Clinton for her brain, her guts, and her effectiveness, he said.

Juan Williams is on Fox News saying Hillary’s legacy deserves better than these bitter angry protesters. Really? Then why doesn’t she hold a press conference and tell them to stop and if they don’t then she sees them as enemies of our country
the b!tch prolly spent a half billion dollars on it's campaign, but the dogs won't eat it...
The Democratic Party isn’t destroyed. It is way out to the left, but it still got 50% of the vote. You can’t count them out, if for no other reason than the GOP’s propensity to screw up when in the majority.
The Clintons and their cronies have a long of those to whom much is owed and to whom promises were made based upon their acquiring the office of the presidency.
Now that they have no way of delivering on any of it,a reckoning is coming.
“... crying so hard the friend could barely pick out what HRC was saying.”
The human part of me hates to think of anyone in that much agony. Then I remember who it is we’re talking about.
I wish the late great Howard Cosell had been here to provide commentary on election night: "Trump takes Florida!....Trump takes Ohio!....Trump takes Pennsylvania!....DOWN GOES HILLARY! DOWN GOES HILLARY! DOWN GOES HILLARY!
I don't think the world "Biblical" is too much of an exaggeration. Hillary will never lack for material comfort, but it will seem to her she is suffering the torments of Job.
But one huge difference is, Job was a Godly man.
“The Clinton’s will be slowly stripped of all the money they hold so dear and left to get by on Bill’s pension. If they weren’t so high profile they would be found dead in a ditch. They made some promises to people that take that stuff deadly seriously and don’t suffer being stiffed lightly.”
This. There’s going to be a reckoning.
Gawd. what a sad pathetic human being he must be.
-— the glass ceiling of the Javits Center-—
I watched on Fox Business and they went to the Javits Center often. There was no glass ceiling. Rather, there was a space frame truss network that in its natural state was white. It was not white but a soothing blue. The ceiling was everywhere bathed in blue light.
We were told that blue is soothing to a Parkinson’s diseased patient and retards or eliminates the jerky off the wall loss of body control.
The diseased Hillary must live in a continuous blue state to function
No way. She'll be too old and was barely healthy enough to slog and stumble and cough through this campaign.
Exactly.
Shocked - SHOCKED! - to learn that she has a friend.
I’m not sure who is creepier Hillary... or the American? People who supported/support her.
Well stated! You know she is depressed now and either drunk or medicated. Probably screaming obscenities at her helpers. Hey Hillary helpers, it is a good time to leave!
Kicking out Donna Brazile would be RACIST!
True but at least half of America is on to them..and every crazy thing the left does only makes it more clear to anyone who is in a half a fog.
I read that. Delicious.
“Howard! I don’ think she's gonna win it now!” says Meredith excitedly. “Looky thar Howard! She got beat!”
Cosell answers nasally, “That's right Dandy Don. This reminds me of the great contest in 1948 when the powerful New York team of Thomas E. Dewey was upset by a guy everybody said was finished, etc., etc., etc...”
""It’s pretty extraordinary because Secretary Clinton has an extraordinary email arrangement with herself,” Gowdy said. “And she’s the author of her own destiny. Everything that has happened since then, it is the natural probable consequence of deciding you’re going to have a rogue email system. So, I understand she’s upset and I understand she doesn’t like the timing but she need not look further than herself.”"10/28/2016 - REP. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.)
