Yeah. Even if she knew she lost, I can believe she wasn’t in the proper frame to give a worthy concession speech.
When Podesta came out and told the crowd that there would be no announcement that night, that votes were still being counted, and there would be an announcement late the following moment, I figured Trump was up in the count and would be declared the winner if Team Clinton didn’t call in their favors and pull some 2000-style re-re-recount shenanigans.
I was imagining the Clintons and their dirty-tricks advisors going all-out on spending money and twisting arms in the hours remaining until they finally spoke to the press. I fully expected her to come out with a grin and announce that late returns in Michigan and Pennsylvania gave her a narrow victory.
I too thought that she may have been strategizing to pull off a sneaky cheat win. Until Trump came on. Then I believed she was incoherent and wailing and swearing.
