Hillary Clinton was so arrogant she had not prepared a concession speech, she continues to open her big mouth and show the country why she lost.
"I had not drafted a concession speech. I'd been working on a victory speech," Hillary Clinton told CBS 'Sunday Morning' host Jane Pauley in the first TV interview about her new memoir titled "What Happened."
"I felt this enormous letdown, this loss of feeling and direction, and sadness," she said. "And, you know, Bill just kept saying that was a terrific speech... off I went into a frenzy of closet-cleaning, long walks in the woods, and playing with my dogs, and yoga, alternate nostril breathing --which I highly reccommend."
Other Hillary highlights from Axios:
On coping with the loss: "I just felt this enormous letdown, just kind of loss of feeling and direction and sadness."
On the unexpected outcome: "I had not drafted a concession speech. I'd been working on a victory speech."
On Trump's inauguration: "And so there I was, on the platform, you know, feeling like an out-of-body experience. And then his speech, which was a cry from the white nationalist gut…what an opportunity to say, 'Okay, I'm proud of my supporters, but I'm the president of all Americans.' That's not what we heard at all."
On her email scandal: 'I've said it before, I'll say it again, that was my responsibility. It was presented in such a really negative way, and I never could get out from under it. And it never stopped."
On Trump's appeal: "I understood that there were many Americans who, because of the financial crash, there was anger. And there was resentment… a lot of people didn't wanna hear my plans. They wanted me to share their anger. And I should've done a better job of demonstrating I get it."
They knew they had it in a bag, but God did something.
I live in Brooklyn, haven for hipsters & minorities. On Election Day I had expected crowds & long lines at the voting place.
Instead it was like a ghost town. No one was there; I was in & out of the booth in no time.
I assumed these people didn't bother voting for Hillary because 1) she wasn't black and 2) they were still p-d off over Sanders. In any case, they just considered it pointless. Conservatives are far more civic-minded; they will go through Hurricanes Harvey & Irma combined to enter a ballot.
It will be interesting to see the voting place come 2018 or 2020 -- especially the latter. Every purpled-haired weirdo will come out of the woodwork, along with blacks, Hispanics, etc. Probably there will be fights; white or conservative-looking people will be harassed or intimidated.
And there was no way she was going to lose New York, so extra Hillary votes wouldn't count.
She did about as well as Obama did in 2012. If she lost votes where you live, she picked up votes in some suburbs.
Things will be about the same in 2020, IMO.
