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.

As close as Hillary will ever get to a Mandingo moment, although a Dijango Unchained moment would have been fun.

I am calling BS on this Election Night story.

Why? Because we have prima facie evidence of how "the call" went down, from the Trump camp's perspective.

Kellyanne Conway recently told the story about how Mook basically said Trump will have 15 min after the AP calling the election for Clinton to call her and concede. Then Mook said in case Trump won, Clinton would call within 15 min of the AP calling the election.

Ultimately, Huma called Kellyanne and said "Hi Kellyanne, Secretary Clinton would like to Speak to Mr. Trump."

This doesn't comport with this book's saga, where Hillary allegedly said, “Give me the phone.”

I'm not saying there wasn't hysteria at the Peninsula Hotel, or that Obama called her, etc. But I am saying, as I've said before, nowadays, for better or worse, in order to move the needle of public opinion, you need a picture, video, or audio evidence.

That’s the part of this that doesn’t ring true. Why would he want this ended?

When that jerk Podesta told the crowd, go home, let’s get all the votes counted, I thought sh**, they’re going to steal and manufacture enough votes to steal the election. And the media will give them time to do it.

I was hoping that she would appear before her supporters at the Javits Center, start to thank them, then just completely lose it and and throw one of her hysterical, profanity laced temper tantrums on live TV, blaming anyone and everyone for her loss.

No,they don’t think it was the Russians at ALL. They pulled the “it was the Russians” meme out of their ass to try to rationalize PIAPS’ loss. They are willing to risk WW III just to save face.

I’ll also bet Obama was smirking the whole time.

He was probably laughing his ass off all night. No love lost between the Liberal Messiah and the Wicked Witch.

“A recount would have exposed voter fraud”

Exactly, this is why Obongo pressed her. In the brief Mi recount it was already being revealed. In Detroit they found ballot boxes with more votes counted then existed inside the boxes once they were opened. The recount was stopped very early who knows what they would have found.

I totally believe Obama wanted to concede without a struggle.
Having Donald J Trump looking into voter fraud would be the stuff of nightmares for the dems.

I heard tell that her campaign had rented out the rooms directly across from the Trump hotel in Manhattan, too. That must have been worthy of recording, if the tales of her implosion are true.

“I wonder if she trashed the hotel room before or after she conceded. Sure wish someone had some pics.”

Same here. I would love to have a link to an article giving details of Shillary’s demeanor and behavior during the evening.
