The phone must be ringing off the hook.

Why did Hillary Clinton join Jill Stein, the Green Party’s oddball presidential nominee, in asking for a recount of the votes in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania when everyone knows that such a recount won’t change the outcome of the 2016 election?
Part of the answer is that people close to Hillary—Huma Abedin, Chelsea Clinton, and Sidney Blumenthal—encouraged her to ask for a recount as a way of lifting her spirits.
“She is weepy, looks ten years older and is very whiny,” said one of Hillary’s closest friends. “She has been drinking wine pretty heavily, much more than usual. She mopes around all day, swimming in a sea of recriminations and complaining that her campaign managers were ‘incompetent,’ Bill and Chelsea ‘didn’t work hard enough,’ FBI Director Comey was ‘in league with Trump.’”
In addition, President Obama convinced Hillary that it was in the best interest of the Democratic Party if the Clinton legal team got involved with the recount and didn’t leave it to Jill Stein.
“The president felt that the progressives were acting stunned and helpless and had to rise out of their stupor and show that they weren’t going to take their defeat lying down,” said the source. “Contesting the results of the election was the best and fastest way to stir the morale and fighting spirit of the demoralized party.
“Obama felt that a recount would plant a seed with the base that the election was somehow dishonest,” the source continued. “He wanted to raise serious questions about the legitimacy of the Trump presidency.”
And what did Bill Clinton—the man Charlie Rose called “the best political animal that’s ever been in American politics”—think of all this?
Said a close Clinton adviser: “Bill thinks the recount is going to backfire as a strategy because there are probably no more than a handful of questionable ballots and they could actually wind up adding to Trump’s numbers and validate rather than invalidate his election.”
Bill is correct, politically, as usual.
I bet he knew she was going to lose even before she ran, but kept his mouth shut.................
She’s got nothing better to do...
The phone must be ringing off the hook.
And we also now know that the Green Party is in the tank for the Democrats.
Keep digging Democrats. Please continue to help them Greens!
She should switch to whiskey - it’s faster.
We need to pray that she is kept relatively healthy until the trial.
“Bill thinks the recount is going to backfire as a strategy because there are probably no more than a handful of questionable ballots and they could actually wind up adding to Trump’s numbers and validate rather than invalidate his election.”
Whatever else Bill may be, he always was a lot smarter than Hillary, especially when it comes to politics.
Anyone found info on where to see real time tracking of the Wisconsin recount?
“...that people close to Hillary...encouraged her to ask for a recount as a way of lifting her spirits.”
It would have been a lot cheaper if they had just taken her to Knott’s Berry Farm and let her pet the little animals...
She probably looks 10 years older because she doesn’t have 5 pounds of makeup and a wig on.
And that not giving a rip about security, and then pretending like we were all stupid for even caring about it? That didn't play well either.
All told I'd say you did it to yourself.
Pretty sad that none of these people seems to have ANY semblance of a LIFE outside of politics.
Wine is fine but liquor is quicker
But that would have qualified as animal cruelty...
“Bill thinks the recount is going to backfire as a strategy because there are probably no more than a handful of questionable ballots and they could actually wind up adding to Trump’s numbers and validate rather than invalidate his election.”
Make it so, Oh Lord! Vanquish the foul witch queen once and for all!!
Hillary, please note that according to reliable U.S. intelligence sources there are Russkies hiding under your bed!
Weepy and whiny over the election? This is the smartest woman in the world, someone who is rough and tough ready for the 3 am phone call about world crises.......she’s a basket case over losing an election?????
It makes you wonder if rumors are true that Hillary geared her whole adult life to being president someday, and she has seen her life’s dream evaporate...............
Hillary, go spend some time with your grandchildren, they'll get you out of your funk.
I can't imagine not being able to see my 6 YO grandson every week. That boy keeps me young. He's an extrovert and a big bundle of energy.
A couple weeks ago, I taught him a German word for a higher quality of German Riesling: hochgewachs. Last Sunday, during a visit to our local winery, he made good use of the term. As he was pouring Sprite into a plastic cup, he said "Opa, here's my hochgewachs!"
Perfect! lmao
Formatted like that, you could make song lyrics out of it.
“The Ballad of Crooked Hillary” or something :)
