Hillary Clinton has conceded defeat to Donald J. Trump, ending her quest to make history as the nation's first female president.

Was this on a cell? Did she smash it with a hammer afterwards?
How long until Kasich, Romney, Beck, etc. call to concede?
Evil has been defeated!
after she saw the house that dropped on her sister, she pretty much assumed her party in Oz was finished and left.
I doubt her office gave much detail as they were trying to wake her up and the injections weren’t working.
Its funny how the NYT site quit working about five hours ago.
The Google site at 6:09 eastern which is 4:09 my time still does not call AZ with 98% reporting and DJT with a five percent lead.
In fact they show DJT with 276 EV and don’t show him winning yet in New Hampshire (4ev), Michigan (16ev), Arizona (11v) or Alaska (3ev).
So instead of showing Donald with the 310 he deserves on election night, they show him with 276.
I presume that she did not have the class to give a public concession???
And being the class act that she is, she never addressed the thousands of supporters who waited all night at her campaign headquarters to thank them.
Popular vote on Google is listed as
Hillary 58,670,948 votes
Donald 58,743,797 votes
That has Donald leading the popular vote by 72,849 over Hillary. Which does not include the fine candidates so I won’t do the percentages but that is about 6/100ths of a percent of the total votes for the two of them.
So as of this morning she can’t claim to have won the popular vote — only that it is still close. Michigan has four counties that don’t have their total vote in according to their SOS site.
She did not do it in an open speech but a good percentage of the time it is done in a telephone call direct which is what she did here.
Click the link for the details. As it is LAT I have exerted it.
Yes, but I understand the her supporters addressed the cameras of ABC and other media outlets — with their middle fingers and tears.
Happy dance , drunken , happy dance. LOL
Since I am doing morning update out of pity for the frozen MSM I guess I should say the as it stands now the Republicans have 51 Senators with LA still in a runoff and New Hampshire almost too close to call.
Republican Kelly Ayotte leads there by less than 1500 votes out of 700,000.
If they go on to get both those seats they will have 53 by my count.
Hoping the EIB microphones were on hand to capture the moment! LOL!
Judging from past elections, at least several million more votes will be added in the next day or two. The numbers so far reflect a very poor turnout for both candidates, but especially poor for Clinton.
I agree. The NYT site has Clinton up by 35,000 less than half the margin I gave to Trump from the Google site just 20 minutes ago here at 4:40 MST.
People like Lindsay Graham should be made to walk the plank and drop into the Potomac. He’s a lousy Senator that shouldn’t be representing South Carolinians.
About 37 precincts in AZ do not have their votes in yet. This is why a three percent plus lead they still have not called it for Trump.
The precincts are from all over the state.
I’m just waiting for all of these Hollywood people to move to Canada now.
