"They were never going to let me be president," former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton declared on election night, according to a new book about her campaign.
Clinton's sycophants struggled among themselves to figure out who would break the news to 'first woman president,' the book, " Chasing Hillary: Ten Years, Two Presidential Campaigns, and One Intact Glass Ceiling ," by New York Times staffer Amy Chozick, reports. Chozick had to travel with the woman for months as part of her traveling press corps, and knew all about what Hillary was like, up close.
According to the Daily Beast, citing the book :
That’s when Robby [Mook,], drained and deflated, watching the results with his team in a room down the hall from Hillary’s suite, labored into the hallway of the Peninsula to break the news. Hillary didn’t seem all that surprised. ‘I knew it. I knew this would happen to me….’ Hillary said, now within a couple of inches of his face. ‘They were never going to let me be president.’”
What a whiner. After denouncing half the country as 'deplorables,' failing to go to Wisconsin, refusing to answer any questions freely in press conferences, showing visible signs of failing health, there somehow is some some great 'they' out there, floating around, whose sole purpose was to prevent a woman president, or, more specifically, her.
What it shows is that this woman is in far worse mental shape than anyone realized. Can you imagine what the news would be like if she were president? Can you imagine the whining we would have had to put up with had she won? No wonder she didn't win.

Felonia von Pantsuit declared her candidacy on 12 April. The election was 8 November. Seven months. Try to imagine being cooped up with this shrieking harpy and her gushing sycophants for seven long months. Now imagine the country being cooped up with her for four long years, every single word of word of questioning Her Heinous being screamed at in the media as misogyny, the Clinton Foundation bloated to Hindenburg proportions by graft and corruption, every blade of grass in the country up for sale to the highest bidder, a national nightmare from which there would be no awakening. Anybody else glad that Trump won?
Amen to that, couldn’t agree more.
“They” were the hard working,moral,FED UP,fly-over country people she deemed ‘deplorables’. “They” are US. And she- for once in her reprehensible life-was right!
2020 is gonna be turmoil for the Democrats. The DNC desperately wants a Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, or other young candidate of color preferably, but outside the tent is Hillary waiting to crash the party. The Democrats are afraid of her and want her on the sidelines, but she’s not going away! She’s definitely running again!

Any ol way you look at it, she is insane.
This is a woman, you'll remember, who prized aides like Sidney Blumenthal who would play to and confirm her conspiratorial fantasies.
This from a Washington Post review of her book, Chasing Hillary.
She contends that sexism played a big role in Clinton’s defeat but also encounters it first-hand among Clinton’s campaign staff....When Chozick zeroes in on Clinton and leaves herself out of it, she can be perceptive, pithy and surprising. On Clinton's apparent disdain for the electoral process: "If there was a single unifying force behind her candidacy, it was her obvious desire to get the whole thing over with." On Clinton's ambition: "Her only clear vision of the presidency seemed to be herself in it."
...
And even on Clinton's proclivities: "For all the lesbian theories, Hillary enjoys nothing more than flirting with a handsome, preferably straight man." (Despite aggressively questioning Clinton about her e-mails, Ed Henry became a favorite: "She would regularly look past her almost entirely female press corps to call on the Fox News correspondent, with his cherub cheeks and Pucci pocket squares.")
...
I've noticed this about some "alpha" women who have queen bee tendencies: They're kinda sexist against other women. Maybe it's that they feel other women are competitors on the specific playing field of Who Is The Queeniest of Queen Bee in a way men are not/cannot be -- men are competing in another division entirely, as in college sports -- but power-seeking women often are fixated on a Lonely Victory -- they want to be the woman in charge. They don't want other women tagging along to share the Female Empowerment Spotlight.
This is fun:
"Chasing Hillary" offers some searing moments surrounding election night, as when the Clinton team's data guru grasps that his Florida models were off (Latino turnout lower than expected, white turnout huge in the Panhandle), then turns to campaign manager Robby Mook and says, they could be wrong everywhere."
I'm at full staff.
Mook eventually delivers the news of impending defeat to Clinton. "I knew it. I knew this would happen to me,” she answers. "They were never going to let me be president."
For those who still say Trump is psychologically unfit to be president, I say: Well, okay, but compared to whom?
The only other candidate in the race who could actually win was a woman with a long history of corruption and conspiracy-thinking, who walked around with a literal Enemies List and actually rated people on that list, from one to seven (if memory serves) as far as how betrayish she felt they were.
The next day, Times reporters consider what they'd missed -- and why. "God, I didn't go to a single Hillary or Trump rally," a colleague of Chozick's admits, "and yet, I wrote with such authority."
You've got your Dunning in my Kruger! Mmm-- two incompetent tastes that taste even more incompetent together!!!
Now come the parts about the sexism of Hillary's male staff, towards women.
Chozik only refers to these Guys by nicknames -- Broan Loafers Guy, Policy Guy. Cutesy stuff like that.
The most "loathsome" is the one she calls "Original Guy," "the longest-serving Svengali and the most-devoted member of Hillary’s court of flattering men."
She later reveals this "loathsome" creature to be Philippe Reines.
They ask if there are any other Times reporters, preferably male, that they could talk to instead of her....The undercurrent of sexism spills over when Chozick and Original Guy spar over whether a prior conversation can go on the record, and he randomly paraphrases a crude line from "Thank You for Smoking," a 2005 film in which a reporter sleeps with a lobbyist for information. "I didn't know I had to say it was off the record when I was inside you," Original Guy smirks. (“"he words hung there," Chozick recalls, "so grossly gynecological.")
Chozick doesn’t name him but later cites a Times story by Maggie Haberman revealing that Original Guy served as the Trump stand-in during Clinton’s debate preparation. "Hmmm, wherever will Hillary find a manipulative, sometimes-charming, often hilarious, possible sociopath," Chozick muses. "I won't out Original Guy here, except to say that his name rhymes with “Philippe Reines."
Odds that Jake Tapper and CNN will give Amy Chozick a full "town hall" to promote her book at: Zero.
They're only interested in promoting some tell-all books.
Because Integrity.
...
The fury is less evident when she mentions the harassing tendencies of Clinton’s spiritual adviser, whom the Clinton reporters nicknamed Hands Across America. "HAA exhibited generally creepy behavior, but seemed more pitiful and effeminate than threatening, which is why I tried to ignore his rubbing up and down my back," Chozick writes. She does not name HAA in the book; more than a year after Trump's inauguration, Chozick co-wrote a Times story about how Clinton kept spiritual adviser Burns Strider on the 2008 campaign despite repeated accusations of harassment by campaign staff.
The Daily Beast has another damning quote -- "Basket of Deplorables" was no off-the-cuff line.Hillary routinely used it as a laugh line in big-money fundraising dinners in swank places like the Hamptons.
That was no slip of the tongue, since "Hillary always broke down Trump supporters into three baskets," Chozick writes.“Basket #1: The Republicans who hated her and would vote Republican no matter who the nominee.
Basket #2: Voters whose jobs and livelihoods had disappeared, or as Hillary said, 'who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens in their lives and their futures.'
Basket #3: The Deplorables. This basket includes 'the racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic--you name it.'
"The Deplorables always got a laugh, over living-room chats in the Hamptons, at dinner parties under the stars on Martha’s Vineyard, over passed hors d'oeuvres in Beverly Hills, and during sunset cocktails in Silicon Valley," Chozick continues.
Funny, I don't remember Chozick or anyone else covering Clinton during the campaign reporting that little nugget. It's almost as if they were trying to protect her from herself, and deliberately hiding relevant information from the public they were allegedly helping to make an informed choice.
And speaking of conspiracy theories: Bill Clinton, maybe trying to pay Hillary Clinton back for all the conspiracy theories she dreamed up to save his bacon in 1997, spins out this incredible conspiracy theory about the New York Times trying to get Trump elected.
Why? For money.
"After the election, Bill would spread a more absurd Times conspiracy: The publisher had struck a deal with Trump that we’d destroy Hillary on her emails to help him get elected, if he kept driving traffic and boosting the company's stock price."
References to "They," talk of a Jewish-owned newspaper sabotaging her campaign for sheckels -- these conspiracy theories, like most conspiracy theories, seem to be converging on to an anti-semitic underlying premise.
The book sounds very feminist, very liberal, and still very pro-Hillary, despite her frustrations with Hillary for being a Gigantic Loser.
So I'm not recommending it. Just sharing some quotes.
Little wonder Willie and she have been separated the bulk of their married life though at times living together, he’s no prince but he isn’t crazy.
Lock her up!
She believed Satan’s lie when he offered her the presidency in exchange for her soul.
You are correct that turn-out was the key and the Democrats and media did not see it coming. If we can't repeat that trick in 2018 and 2020 we will pay the price
There’s good news and bad news for Hillary.
The good news: “they” were determined you would never be President. Results: you’re not.
The bad news: “they” are going to charge, convict, and put you in prison. Results: We’re only getting started.
We ducked a bullet that time for sure!
She is, she’s completely nuts. I wish someone would get right in her face and tell her the REAL reason she lost is that she sat on her fat cankle supported ass her entire campaign thinking she would easily win. I can’t remember one single solitary interview she did while campaigning and I remember only only rally of hers. Meanwhile Trump was doing countless interviews every single day, no questions off limits and then doing up to 4 rallies PER DAY. Why doesn’t anyone shove that right in her b*tch face? I’m sick of this crackpot going around constantly blaming everyone and everything but herself.
Being elected President is not supposed to be a ‘prize’ or personal achievement to make you feel good about yourself and expand your ego. It’s supposed to be about service, and wanting to sacrifice part of your life to do something meaningful. Hillary has had many, many opportunities to do something meaningful, but has done little to nothing that has helped people or made the world a better place. That’s because her motivation is her. It’s all about her. She never, ever, ever deserved to be President.
There are many, many people who have contributed in life much more than her, but whose name few know, and who will never get credit for what they’ve given and done. Fame is fleeting. What you do with your life, how unselfish you are, and what you’ve sacrificed for others and for what you believe in will endure as the legacy of you in this life, and will mean much more in the next than whatever title you held here.
Amazing how we have the 'excuse' tour by Shrillery and the 'pontification' tour by Herman 'James' Munster, all at the same time. It is good to see corrupt Dhimmicrats melting down and attacking each other. 'bout time!
