Obama Had To Pressure Hillary Multiple Times To Concede On Election Night
The Daily Caller ^ | 8:11 PM 04/17/2017 | DEREK HUNTER

The presidential election of 2016 shocked the world, but no one was more shocked than Hillary Clinton. A new book on the Clinton campaign contains the revelation that Clinton had to be pressured into conceding her loss on election night by then-President Barack Obama.

“POTUS doesn’t think it’s wise to drag this out,” White House political director David Simas is reported as saying to Robby Mook, Clinton’s campaign manager.

The campaign did not concede at that point.

When a WW II vet I met in a the Pittsburgh VA hospital waiting room brought up Hillary as a topic and almost foamed at the mouth with hatred and disdain, it solidified my opinion that Hillary and her campaign were the political equivalent of a facade that would go the way of the one in Blazing Saddles. That was in mid summer, 2016

The vet was a Democrat that had voted for the Democrats twice in the two previous election. A woman vet said nothing until she got up and then said she was voting for Trump too.

Allegheny County gave Pennsylvania to Trump. While Hillary won it she lost too many votes in Allegheny County/Pittsburgh to carry Pennsylvania. The interesting thing is her campaign knew she was in trouble in Pennsylvania. Immediately before the election they held big name concerts in both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia to sway and get out the vote.

Surely there was a documentary film crew on hand for Hillary’s moment of triumph? I keep waiting for footage of her election night rage to leak out.

Really? We were too busy doing out happy dance here at the Angius house. Will never forget election night for as long as I live. I have to say that it was the New York Times election website that called it exactly and called it early. The Times called it before FOX News gave him most of the midwest. IT was AHMAZING!

Obama wanted to see what Trump was talking about.

I read that it was Huma who called the Trump people with Hillary’s concession.

Yes, Huma called and put Hillary Clinton on when Donald Trump came on. I'm just speculating that if she was so freaked out they might have used a voice double like people assumed she used a body double after her 9/11 collapse.

My suspicion is, though, that he couldn’t-—and Sullivan wouldn’t-—tell Cankles it was over.

I agree, it seems that Hillary Clinton is very "Saddam Hussein" in that her staff doesn't tell her things because of her legendary anger and retaliation. In "Saddam's Secrets" Hussein's General Sada gave several examples of that and every time I see Hillary Clinton do something clueless I've wondered if they are all just afraid to tell her.

Where did you get this information?

Rumors on the internet but they fit in with Hillary Clinton's legendary drinking and fits of anger confirmed by Secret Service agents and aids. Also we can see her freak out like when she screeched "Why aren't I 50 points ahead, you might ask!"

So you can consider that post my opinion or google key words and read the sources.

The image is spot on. I think the “Omen The Final Conflict” fits O to a better tee especially all of the sycophants portrayed in the film just like O’s fans/media.

When I saw his face on a “designer” dress at a fashion show, and then he gets a Nobel Peace Prize “for future Middle East peace” (not often stated but it was noted), Kissinger calls him the best hope for a New World Order, he lies like the Devil incarnate and arises from obscurity, with no real accomplishments to the most powerful office in the world, etc. etc. etc.

It was mind-boggling to watch in real time......

As Robert Jeffress said: Obama is paving the way for the Antichrist.

It seems that at the very least, that is spot on.

And the millions that believe in his lies, even when he went out of his way to purposely edit out “God” - sounds like the Devil himself.

Bizarre.

Makes perfect sense to me. This way 0vomit can still pretend that he was fairly elected. If the fraud in 2008 and 2016 came to light, the only “accomplishment” of his entire life (getting elected) would be taken away.

Interesting that Obama appears in a favorable light in the article.

Why report this now?

To make Obama appear in a favorable light.

To characterize him as the reasonable, moderate, statesman and leader of the democrat party.

But there were recounts in the three “blue line” states, not by Dems but by the 3rd party candidate, Jill Stein. It was claimed that Stein had the backing of the Clinton camp. IIRC, Trump gained a few votes in each case.
