Most every Hillary Clinton supporter in this country is probably stunned right now -- as may be a few (or more) Donald Trump supporters.

Add the optimism and expectation among the Clinton faithful to the decisive defeat handed down by Trump on Tuesday, and it made for some remarkable and poignant photography on Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City.

Here are some images that tell that tale of one of the most shocking political events in history -- from the losing side:

Why do Clinton supporters all look like they need a bath?

I can't wait until all the leftist government public schools are forced to display Trumps picture in all the schools!

Warning that your gaydar will go off viewing several pics.

I agree. We have four kids, 3 old enough to vote. All of us voted Trump, in three states, MD and VA (waste of time) and MI, critically important.

We all stayed up till about two chatting on Facebook and enjoying the night.

It was so much fun when it became apparent Trump was to be victorious.

I sent them a youtube link to James Brown “I Feel Good” and we all woke up happy that our nation is in good hands and not given over to Satan.

It’s such a good feeling to be filled with hope and thanksgiving.

I fear that the next couple months are going to be a rough ride, but it takes a whole lot for turbulence to bring down a jet so we’ll ride it out.

Disagree. I thought the Tea Party sprang after 2008. Life changed dramatically from that.

Ugh, there were several of those ‘couples’ there last night, consoling each other....

Wow! Willie from the Panther Hall days. They tore Panther Hall down, it’s just an over grown empty slab now.

The heartbreak of herpes.

It would take a heart of stone to keep from laughing.

They can still put on dresses and shop at Target.

Plus, there will be plenty of ease going through the aisles since Target offended so many of their former customers.

I look forward to the demise of Target.

The men appear effeminate. Pajama boys and SJW’s

This is like giggling over the death of Little Nell.

[Oldexpat]

Fat girls cry a lot.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Best. Election. Ever.

I can understand how they feel. I felt that way in 2008 and 2012. But God has blessed me with a real President now.

These people should be furious at the media. They were trying to sell America a lie (Hillary can’t loss) and these stooges bought it hook, line and sinker...

If the media was honest and actually did some actual journalism, they could have seen the Trump wave coming...

How big it was, was the unknown...

[RightGeek]

LOL!

Did not like that Bush Sr or Jr were globalists
Clinton was a sleaze before the first election, proved it, and we still reelected him.
Obama was an anti-American and communist, and we still reelected him.
