Hillary Clinton is striking back at critics telling her to “shut up” following her 2016 loss, saying, “They never said that to any man who was not elected.”
“I was really struck by how people said that to me — you know, mostly people in the press, for whatever reason — mostly, ‘Go away, go away,’” Clinton said Thursday during an event at Rutgers University.
“And I had one of the young people who works for me go back and do a bit of research. They never said that to any man who was not elected. I was kind of struck by that,” Clinton said.
Clinton’s remarks came in response to a question from Eagleton Institute of Politics’ director Ruth Mandel about the former Democratic presidential nominee’s reaction to those who say she should “get off the public stage and shut up.”
“I’m really glad that, you know, Al Gore didn’t stop talking about climate change,” Clinton said to applause.
“And I’m really glad John Kerry went to the Senate and became an excellent secretary of State,” the former first lady continued. “And I’m really glad John McCain kept speaking out and standing up and saying what he had to say. And for heavens sakes, Mitt Romney is running for the Senate,” Clinton said.
The 70-year-old ex-secretary of State has taken heat in recent weeks, even among some Democrats, for comments she made about Americans who voted for President Trump in the 2016 race.
"I won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward,” Clinton said earlier this month during a conference in India. “And his whole campaign, ‘Make America Great Again,’ was looking backwards.”
“I think it was a moment in time because what had been expected to happen in the election, which obviously did not,” Clinton said Thursday. “And then a lot of angst and second guessing and finger pointing and everything that went on.”
‘We dodge a bullet on her.’
More like a missile
Give her a bigger shovel! Check, let’s buy her a backhoe!
Good one!
She IS a backhoe.
She thought all she had to do was put her name on ballots, and voila, Madame President.
She has no one who really cares about her; if she did, they'd be doing an intervention on her.
The difference is her audience.
She is speaking to mush-for-brains college kids who aren't smart enough to catch that important nuance.
Nobody ever had to tell a losing male candidate to shut up after a year and a half of yapping about why they lost. Because none of them ever have.
If they had, they would have been told to shut up and get off the stage too, Hillary.
No one tells a man 99.9% of the time because most of them gracefully exit the political stage.
The only Senator to ever be removed for TREASON !..

No its not.
That’s pitiful and she won’t give it up.
She wants the WH more than her dignity or her health...Pathetic.
Here is the link to the Senate records ...
It is pretty hard to get any more ‘sore loserman’ than this!
“... Response of the Senate
A brief discussion followed, in which Lyman Trumbull (R-IL) inquired of Breckinridge’s Kentucky colleague, Democrat Lazarus Powell, whether it was true that Breckinridge had become a general in the Confederate army. After first trying to avoid a direct answer, Powell finally confirmed that Trumbull’s information was correct. Because Breckinridge had accepted a prominent military position in the Confederacy, Trumbull asked that the resolution be amended to state:
Whereas John C. Breckinridge, a member of this body from the State of Kentucky, has joined the enemies of his country, and is now in arms against the Government he had sworn to support:
Therefore, Resolved, That the said John C. Breckinridge, the traitor, be, and he is hereby, expelled from the Senate.
That same day, the Senate voted 36 to 0 to pass the resolution as amended and expel Breckinridge.”

“Did she fall or cough?”
Probly was half drunk, had a coughing fit, wet her Depends til it overflowed, slipped on it and wiped out.
I do think that this woman is either stupid or lives in a bubble and I don’t think they make bubbles that large so stupid it is.
Richard M. Nixon had every reason on earth to whine about his loss to Kennedy, but the man had too much class and too dignity to stoop to your level. That’s why he did eventually become president something you will never do.
She’s (it’s) wrong anyway; we have been telling Juan McSwine and Myth Rombot to shut the hell up for years.
Aaron Burr... Good point.
Another huge sore looser. Definitely bigger than Gore. Still not quite as high as Breckinridge !

“After leaving Washington, Burr traveled west seeking new opportunities, both economic and political. His activities eventually led to his arrest on charges of treason in 1807. The subsequent trial resulted in acquittal, but Burr’s western schemes left him with large debts and few influential friends. ”
“Contacts with the British Edit
While Burr was still Vice President, in 1804 he met with Anthony Merry, the British Minister to the United States. As Burr told several of his colleagues, he suggested to Merry that the British might regain power in the Southwest if they contributed guns and money to his expedition. Burr offered to detach Louisiana from the Union in exchange for a half a million dollars and a British fleet in the Gulf of Mexico. Merry wrote, “It is clear Mr. Burr... means to endeavour to be the instrument for effecting such a connection—he has told me that the inhabitants of Louisiana ... prefer having the protection and assistance of Great Britain.”[2] “Execution of their design is only delayed by the difficulty of obtaining previously an assurance of protection & assistance from some foreign power.”[2]
In November 1805, Burr again met with Merry and asked for two or three ships of the line and money. Merry informed Burr that London had not yet responded to Burr’s plans which he had forwarded the previous year. Merry gave him fifteen hundred dollars. Those Merry worked for in London expressed no interest in furthering an American secession. In the spring of 1806, Burr had his final meeting with Merry. In this meeting Merry informed Burr that still no response had been received from London. Burr told Merry, “with or without such support it certainly would be made very shortly.”[3] Merry was recalled to Britain on June 1, 1806.”
“Travels to the Ohio Valley and Louisiana Territory Edit
In 1805 Burr conceived plans to emigrate, which he claimed was for the purpose of taking possession of land in the Texas Territories leased to him by the Spanish (the lease was granted, and copies still exist).
That year Burr traveled down the Ohio River starting in Pittsburgh to the Louisiana Territory.[4] In the spring, Burr met with Harman Blennerhassett, who proved valuable in helping Burr further his plan. He provided friendship, support, and most importantly, access to the island which he owned on the Ohio River, about 2 miles (3 km) below what is now Parkersburg, West Virginia. In 1806, Blennerhassett offered to provide Burr with substantial financial support. Burr and his co-conspirators used this island as a storage space for men and supplies. Burr tried to recruit volunteers to enter Spanish territories. In New Orleans, he met with the Mexican associates, a group of criollos whose objective was to conquer Mexico (still New Spain at the time). Burr was able to gain the support of New Orleans’ Catholic bishop for his expedition into Mexico. Reports of Burr’s plans first appeared in newspaper reports in August 1805, which suggested that Burr intended to raise a western army and “to form a separate government.”
In early 1806, Burr contacted the Spanish minister, Carlos Martínez de Irujo y Tacón, and told him that his plan was not just western secession, but the capture of Washington, D.C. Irujo wrote to his masters in Madrid about the coming “dismemberment of the colossal power which was growing at the very gates” of New Spain.[5] Irujo gave Burr a few thousand dollars to get things started. The Spanish government in Madrid took no action.
Following the events in Kentucky, Burr returned to the West later in 1806 to recruit more volunteers for a military expedition down the Mississippi River. He began using Blennerhassett Island in the Ohio River to store men and supplies. The Governor of Ohio grew suspicious of the activity there, and ordered the state militia to raid the island and seize all supplies. Blennerhassett escaped with one boat, and he met up with Burr at the operation’s headquarters on the Cumberland River. With a significantly smaller force, the two headed down the Ohio to the Mississippi River and New Orleans. Wilkinson had vowed to supply troops at New Orleans, but he concluded that the conspiracy was bound to fail, and rather than providing troops, Wilkinson revealed Burr’s plan to President Jefferson.”
And she was the one who gave Trump $hit about not accepting legitimate results that would result in his defeat during the last debate.
Her soul is not her own.
Jeb, shut up!
Hillary, shut up!
reference the Fairness Doctrine.
Even Al Gore didn’t complain this much and he was much closer to winning. STFU crazy witch.
