Complete Headline: The face of defeat: A weary-looking Hillary Clinton makes her first appearance since her concession and admits that 'coming here wasn't the easiest thing for me' and she wanted to 'never leave the house again'

• Hillary Clinton attended the Children's Defense Fund's gala in Washington, D.C on Wednesday evening
  
• It was the failed presidential candidate's first public appearance since she conceded to Donald Trump a week ago
  
• She considered cancelling her speech, saying she 'wanted to curl up with a book or our dogs and never leave the house again'
  
• Said she drew inspiration from the organization's founder and her mentor Marian Wright Edelman, who introduced tonight as the 'people's president'
  
• Clinton also talked about her mother, Dorothy, who died before her daughter became the Democratic nominee for president
  
• She tip-toed around her opponent as she delivered her address blocks away from his recently opened hotel and his new home
  
• Donald Trump did not come up, though she appeared to make reference to him when she speculated about the nation's 'uncertain future'

A weary-looking Hillary Clinton said Wednesday evening at her first public appearance since she conceded to Donald Trump that she considered cancelling her speech to the children's advocacy group but kept the commitment out of respect for her mentor.

'I will admit coming here tonight wasn't the easiest thing for me,' she said at the Children's Defense Fund's gala in Washington, D.C.

The failed presidential candidate said 'there have been a few times this past week when all I wanted to do is just to curl up with a good book or our dogs and never leave the house again.'

I keep thinking that as well. But I don’t think she’ll make it through the primaries. She will be forced to compete on a level playing field.

I just saw her on tv and she could give Marjorie Main a run for her money. To me, her hair did look dirty. But I, too, am wondering what this new look is about. To be a victim in front of her womyn fans?? Which shows the shellacking she just got at the ballot box taught her nothing.

Trump’s new AG should hold her accountable for the money laundering slush fund called the Clinton Foundation and obstructing justice in the case of the emails. We need to put a stake thru the hearts of the Clintons once and for all. Otherwise Hillary will return in 2020 to claim her destiny.

An interesting comparison (in many ways). In one of the early posts on this thread, there's a small photo that I thought made her resemble Irene Ryan… as in her "Granny" character. Well, they have focus grouped something they think will keep their goose out of the oven.

I’ll buy Granny! More contemporary, too.

“Hillary will run again in 2020, mark my words.”

I honestly don’t think she’ll make it to 2020. She’s very, very sick. I give her two years before she’s confined to a sick bed.

“Der Hildebeast looks like the wife of one of the Communist deputies of the Soviet Union.”

Absolutely perfect description...Well done!

Children's Defense Fund, it sounds so noble. Lets have a big party and show how much we care. Better yet, lets have a gala.

I am getting a real bad attitude about non profits in general. Always involves wealthy folks having a party while claiming to really care about this or that poor “child/woman/minority/non white person.”

I wonder why they never have a gala for Christians or white males?

Same here. My unprofessional diagnosis would be she suffers narcissistic personality disorder with sociopathic traits. There are many different types of NPD, not all fit the stereotype of someone polished and primped like a movie star, which could be the somatic type. They also suffer deep depression, which could explain unkempt appearance at times, or a hangover. Or they may not look so great but they are wearing a $15,000 suit. So even though I’m not a doctor diagnosing anyone, which would entail a whole lot more, those are my thoughts. I find your thoughts on the topic very interesting, too.

And that’s how she looked for a “gala?”

You should see the portrait in her attic.

[Pelham]

you would think that with all the alcohol she would be better preserved

[Vaden]

She’s clearly not happy about the fact that a huge portion of Americans blocked her ascension to the White House.

(She also looks like she hasn’t slept during the interim week.)

Naw, make up was professionally air brushed on for those appearances. I’ve a grand daughter who does it for Celebs in Nashville. It’s the difference in doing your own when going for Photos and going to Glamor Shots.

[jjotto]

A lot of treatments of Hillary, as with Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and others, go beyond air-brushing. They’re outright photoshop artwork.

I wonder if she will attend President Trump's inauguration? I can see, as a courtesy, all former Presidents being invited. So if that is so, will she attend?

[hal ogen]

"...looks like..."??? She IS a zombie.

‘there have been a few times this past week when all I wanted to do is just to curl up with a good book or Huma and never leave the cell again.’

Justice would be her and Bill in the same cell for the
rest of their lives.

[AppyPappy]

If so, you are paying her bar bill.
