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.

He definitely looks like he's copping a little beav squeeze in that pic. Maybe it grabbed his hand.

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

“I prayed that He would intervene and set the vote with the truth. Maybe He did.”
You’re not the only one with that thought. My sister told me a few days before the election that we needed “divine intervention.”

I’m not sure I even believe she spoke to Trump directly. At that time, around 0200-0215, she had to still be out of her mind with anger/grief. Donald Trump would let that one slide cause it really doesn’t matter to him. We’ll never know.
Also, I get why they called the book “Shattered” (glass ceiling), but they should have called it “Shlonged”.

or someone pretended to be her and conceded. Would not take odds on that bet

Well at least she didn’t concede then take it back like Al Gore did. Maybe she was too drunk. Yeah, she could say the Russian spiked her vodka.

Trying desperately to salvage his phony persona.
The scales are falling rapidly from the eyes of many Americans who fell for it. And they are beginnin g to see him as the Empty Chair he was all along.

Indeed, as I wrote earlier,
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.

What really gripes them is they can’t figure out how we atr out-cheating them. ‘Cause that’s what they think happened.

Trump has been screwed out of a lot of things a winning Presidential contender usually gets.
One thing he won’t be screwed out of though, as I see it, in time he is going to go down as the greatest United States President the world has ever seen.

Hillary is the wrong sex for Obola to want a beaver squeeze ...
Then again, thinking about it, maybe not.

From what I understand, she was probably too drunk to appear in public.
However, I am just relying on things I’ve read, here and elsewhere. So I am just speculating.

The only reason that Hillary wasn’t 50 points behind was the propaganda media putting on the full court press the entire time.
