Hillary Clinton Says 'Never Ever Give Up' During 1st Speech Since Election Loss
ABC News ^ | 11/16/2016 | MARGARET CHADBOURN

At Hillary Clinton's first public appearance tonight since making a concession speech one week ago today in New York City, she was candid about her post-election state of mind and encouraged Americans to remain defiant following her defeat.

Speaking at the Children's Defense Fund's 26th annual Beat the Odds Celebration in Washington, D.C., Clinton said, "I know this isn't easy. I know that over the past week a lot of people have asked themselves whether America was the country we thought it was. The divisions laid bare by this election run deep. But please listen to me when I say this: America is worth it. Our children are worth it. Believe in our country, fight for our values and never ever give up."

Clinton, who was honored at the gala for her dedication and contributions to the organization and child advocacy throughout her career, admitted, "coming here tonight wasn’t the easiest for me. There have been a few times this past week that all I wanted to curl up with a good book, or our dogs, and never leave the house again. But if there is anyone who knows who pick yourself up and get back on your feet and get back to work it is [CDF founder and president] Marian [Wright Edelman.]"

Believe in our country, fight for our values and never ever give up...until you've lost two Presidential bids.

There, finished it for her.

You are both generous of spirit. And you’re right.

Prayer will do her good. She needs to ask for forgiveness.

Hillary needs to be prosecuted to full extent. They only understand scorched earth.

You know, it probably won’t be all that bad for her. When asked questions about things that happened even as recent as last year responded, ‘I don’t recall’. Given the state of her memory, she will no doubt forget all about this in a couple of weeks.

She’s basically the same age as Trump.

He looks like he’s ready to sprint a marathon.

She looks like she needs another nap.

Or three.

Agree, but keep in mind.

She was always this sick.

The botox ran out. No one was willing to pay for anymore.

She was forced to face the nation in an also ran capacity.

The weight of Juanita Broderick, the Benghazi Hero’s, squeaky f’ng clean Seth Rich, Maloney, Vince Foster and even Kathleen Wiley’s dead cat put her in low dungeon.

You need to try the Cai Tea!

...oh. and the Libyans want their money back. Seriously.
