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

How can anybody stand to be around her? She's not only an ingrate to her supporters, refusing to speak to them on election night, but she blames husband and daughter too. What a nasty horrid pig!

They'll know she's feeling better when she starts threatening people again though.

Yup, I couldn’t believe it when I first saw him on TV. Like he’s barely out of college and he’s running a pres campaign? I had a huge belly laugh out loud and knew from that moment Hillary was going to lose.

Hillary drinks shots of vodka or, perhaps, tequila.

Wine and beer are chasers only.

She snorts coke to sober up.

I know her type. Constitution of a bull...but gotta have the chemicals.

She blames Bill and Chelsea for not working hard enough...this from the woman who disappeared for a week at a time and barely held any campaign events.

Campaigning would have interfered with her drinking...hard to look your best on the campaign trail when you are hung over.

I’m surprised it wasn’t Bush’s fault. Or the Japanese tsunami

Wow, if true she is/was going to drag the entire country though a massive multi-state recount just to make her feel better? This is off the hook crazy ...

As much as I would like to believe this, I am skeptical that Ed Klein has the access to detailed accounts of Hillary’s private conversations that he claims in this and other stories.

Why would friends from Hillary’s inner circle share detailed accounts of her behavior that make her look this bad with Ed Klein, who is known to be hostile to her?

Wine is too weak for Hillary.

Depends on the wine.

Red Rocket
White Rocket

Old Mr. Mack


Also depends on the wine glass.

Raise her spirits? The means to do that: bilking millions of dollars from people!!!! In elitist-world, no problems with that.

Another thought: keep Hillary away from ropes and pills.

They just want to create chaos.

Well, to a RAT, I guess that would be "uplifting".
