Hillary Clinton acknowledged on a call with her campaign staff and volunteers on Friday that her election loss had taken an emotional toll. But she encouraged those listening to stay engaged in the political process once the despair of Tuesday passed.
“I’m not going to sugarcoat it: These have been very, very tough days,” Clinton said. “This is a tough time for our country. I think we have seen how people have been reacting to the events of this election and I know we have got to be reaching out to each other to keep it clear in our own minds that what we did is so important. It looks like we are on the path to winning the popular vote, and that says volumes about the importance of your work and the lasting impact it will have.”
Clinton’s comments are the first she’s offered since her concession speech to Donald Trump on Wednesday morning. Then and now, she kept a calm demeanor, not casting blame for the outcome but instead encouraging those listening to move forward constructively. Friday’s call, which The Huffington Post was able to dial into, lasted roughly 15 minutes, interrupted for a few minutes by a tech snafu.
Clinton thanked her backers for the work they put in, calling the campaign “one of the greatest honors of my life.” And she encouraged them to remain politically engaged in the future.

“At this point, what difference does it make?”
I have dreaded this woman since 1992. I am sucking the sweet marrow of this victory and I don’t expect that to stop any time soon.
Hillary’s pain is like chocolate avalanche cake with a tall glass of vitamin D milk.
I’m sleeping so well these days.
is Bill raping behind her back again?
I think we have seen how people have been reacting to the events of this election ”
What a nasty person.
Rot in hell criminal.
Did she also tell them they were laid off?
Notice no one in the media blames HILLARY CLINTON for being a failed candidate..remember in 2008 and 2012 how they referred to the Republican who lost as a “Failed” candidate..they still call Sarah Palin to this day..but when a liberal loses, no one blames HER, even though Clinton was a dishonest, corrupt, cheating, lying, murdering, scum bag
You’ve got some even tougher days ahead when Trumps DOJ gets to work on the investigation into your thousands of felonies.
She will get more media coverage over the next four years than Trump will.
Bet on it.
She should be breaking rocks in the hot sun.
Hillary Clinton, soon to be footnote in the ash heap of history.
“Hillary’s pain is like chocolate avalanche cake with a tall glass of vitamin D milk.”
You bet! I didn’t smoke a smooth stogie and sip a fine scotch all night just because Trump won. I did that and popped some Dom because she took a beating!
I haven't felt this good about our country in a long time, say about eight years.
We just returned from an excellent prime rib dinner at a local restaurant and for dessert, a big slice of Schadenfreude pie ala mode. Delicious.
She won’t condemn the violence and vandalism. I despise that.
if only she could see my face
I am glad she is one of the newest unemployed. Now we need to apply her ideas back on her and redistribute her wealth so she is down to average. FU hillary, get a job waiting tables. She is probably not even qualified.
