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 doesnt think its wise to drag this out, White House political director David Simas is reported as saying to Robby Mook, Clintons campaign manager.
The campaign did not concede at that point.

I am still a little disappointed that she didn’t have another seizure and fall off the stage.

I smell horse apples. Obama telling Hitlery to concede? No. Way. In. Hell.

There’s a suggestion being posted elsewhere that Obama has some sense of the magnitude of Democrat fraud that occurs in every election. The sooner Hillary conceded, the less likely that messy recounts would expose wholesale Dem cheating.

She was such an attractive candidate, it is hard to explain why she lost.

Sure makes perfect sense.

***I prayed that He would intervene and set the vote with the truth. Maybe He did.***
He did! I prayed for our country and for Trump every day once he was the nominee. On election night, I did not watch the returns, but prayed the whole night long. Every time I woke up, which was several that night, I prayed for Trump to win, and for evil in our country to lose. When I finally allowed myself to read the news reports the next morning, Hillary was conceding. Praise to the Almighty!!

I smell horse apples. Obama telling Hitlery to concede? No. Way. In. Hell.You're probably right. Obama thinks he is on his third term and he and his minions are trying to make the creep look as good as possible.

The media stopped reporting updates for about 3 hours on election night. They were hoping to find or manufacture more ballots for Hillary.
The trouble was that to get a win for Hillary, many precincts would end up having to reporting 120-130% voter turnout.
They knew it was over. Trump was too far ahead in too many precincts.

[ Why do you think all this favorable reinvention of Obama is coming out? ]
Die-hard libs are pining for the 2nd coming of their Anti-Messiah.
The cult never gave up on the dream.
Meanwhile, elsewhere......

Not damaging his own plans for the DNC? Remember that the Clintons and Obama’s never much liked each other. Hillary finally going away so the DNC becomes his has gotta be something Obama desired at some level. Had she pulled an Algore the lock her up cries would have continued longer than they have ... even as long as they ought!

And the custodial staff found flipped over tables with gourmet food and campaign littering the floor. The presidential seal cake was scattered all over with the plastic white house on it embedded in the wall. A $950,000 bottle of campaign was embedded in a huge 150 inch HD TV "donated" by the Saudi government.
Drunken Hillary attacked her staff and had to be sedated. That must have happened after she conceded, or someone pretended to be her and conceded.
