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

Is such a thing even possible?

Drinking wine?

Baloney.

Wine is too weak for Hillary.

Yeah, but the wine is just before breakfast.

It seems she REALLY IS nuts enough to want to run again in 2020.

I say GREAT..!

Let her suck up allll the liberal money, then have a head-snapping FIESTA on national TV right after becoming the candidate.

That would be PERFECT.

Trump - shoots from hip, some misses but is seen as frank, HONEST.
Hillary - so caculating that everyone takes her as DISHONEST.

She is the PERFECT candidate opposite Trump.

REALLY looking forward to winning in 2020, PRAYING Hillary is the opponent.

The biggest snowflake of them all.

Sheesh, and they’re doing this to our country just because of her hurt feelings?

She lost.

Get over it.

Accept the results of the election just like she demanded Trump do.

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.”

A stopped clock......

Robbie Mook reminded me a bit of pajama boy. When I saw him on TV, I really got the impression that this young man was in over his head on a national presidential campaign. Maybe he should manage someone’s city council campaign instead????

She picked her campaign managers.

If she wants to assign blame, she should just look in the mirror.

” ...complaining that her campaign managers were ‘incompetent,’ Bill and Chelsea ‘didn’t work hard enough,’ FBI Director Comey was ‘in league with Trump.’’”

Notice ... it had NOTHING to do with her, with her lack of likability, personality, energy; the perception of her as a crook and a liar and totally untrustworthy. Nope. It was the managers, her family, Comey, the voters, the newspaper boy, her hairdresser ... everyone but Hillary!
