Ed Klein: The Real Reason Hillary Asked for a Recount IBy Ed Klein Wednesday, 30 Nov 2016

Why did Hillary Clinton join Jill Stein, the Green Party's oddball presidential nominee, in asking for a recount of the votes in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, when everyone knows that such a recount won't change the outcome of the 2016 election?

Part of the answer is that people close to Hillary — Huma Abedin, Chelsea Clinton, and Sidney Blumenthal — encouraged her to ask for a recount as a way of lifting her spirits.

"She is weepy, looks 10 years older and is very whiny," said one of Hillary's closest friends. "She has been drinking wine pretty heavily, much more than usual.

"She mopes around all day, swimming in a sea of recriminations and complaining that her campaign managers were 'incompetent,' Bill and Chelsea 'didn't work hard enough,' FBI Director Comey was 'in league with Trump.'"

In addition, President Barack Obama convinced Hillary that it was in the best interest of the Democratic Party if the Clinton legal team got involved with the recount and didn't leave it to Jill Stein.

"The president felt that the progressives were acting stunned and helpless and had to rise out of their stupor and show that they weren't going to take their defeat lying down," said the source

So the country has to be in turmoil because this bitch can’t handle reality.

[Steely Tom]

I thought Jill Stein asked for the recount.

[gaijin]

They get emotional catharysis, while in the eyes of the white middle-class the Dems look WORSE.

I LOVE this, I hope they do much more of it.

I want them to scream, and scream and scream in the very most public way possible.

It’s like the big-bellied Mexicans swinging their Mexican flags around, with both middle-fingers sticking up.

HELPS US, THANK YOU!

Drinking wine?

Baloney.

Wine is too weak for Hillary.

[wiseprince]

women in politics. Am I right?

Calm down ladies, I jest

[blueunicorn6]

So.

Hillary needs something to keep her busy.

How about making license plates?

Yep, Obama prefers to take defeat bending over!

[Ouderkirk]

I hope it eats at her and drives her to an early grave

[apocalypto]

They just want to create chaos.

“President Barack Obama convinced Hillary that it was in the best interest of the Democratic Party if the Clinton legal team got involved with the recount and didn’t leave it to Jill Stein. “

There you go.

She could take a walk or go shopping.

From the article :

Contesting the results of the election was the best and fastest way to stir the morale and fighting spirit of the demoralized party.

“Obama felt that a recount would plant a seed with the base that the election was somehow dishonest,” the source continued. “He wanted to raise serious questions about the legitimacy of the Trump presidency.”

And what did Bill Clinton — the man Charlie Rose called “the best political animal that’s ever been in American politics”— think of all this?

A close Clinton adviser said: “Bill thinks the recount is going to backfire as a strategy because there are probably no more than a handful of questionable ballots and they could actually wind up adding to Trump’s numbers and validate rather than invalidate his election.”

Millions and millions of dollars spent to give Hillary something to do besides weep, rage and drink

Hey it’s only donor and taxpayer money right ?

January 20 cannot come soon enough

Unlike his wife, Slick isn't stupid.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Yeah - Look at her face when they were photogrpahed in the Situation Room during Ben Laden’s death. Pure shock and horror.

A real leader at 3:00 am, right? Drunk for days because she lost the election. Deluded now for a country-wrenching recount SHE is demanding.

[QualityMan]

Yeah, that was what the man told me. This was all Jill steins doing

Who knew....

[Bullish]

...complaining that her campaign managers were 'incompetent,'

Yeah, Robbie Mook? For once I agree with her. One of the most incompetent boobs ever to run a presidential campaign and he suited Hillary's incompetence to a tee.
