I stayed up all night, and it seemed they were deflated soon after 9 pm EST. They obviously knew things they weren’t sharing (maybe couldn’t confirm), but the tone really changed after 9 pm.

The problem with 24 hour news channels is they have to make up news to keep people watching; the fact that there haven’t been mass layoffs of people who made the most outrageous projections (the most obvious “fake news”) indicates this is just standard operating procedure.

I’m more surprised that people who’ve exposed the media agenda (see Jake Tapper with “states we need to win”, for example) haven’t been replaced with people who at least aren’t publicly in the Dems’ corner. Once you keep someone like that on, there is no way to even feign impartiality. Trump is right to slam the enemedia with every breath; they are the propaganda arm of his (and our) opposition.

“No, Schale explained, Trump’s numbers weren’t just big, they were unreal.”

My favourite line. It really does never get old. Just like my favourite from the debates...”Because you’d be in jail”. lol

No that Charlston Hesston look alike, the Republican Strategist was the exception. He wanted to punch someone. Probably Trump had he walked into the room.

Judging from McQueeg’s insane behavior, we might have dodged a bullet, there, too.
Hard to believe there might have been a candidate who was worse than Obama.

Some of the raw vote numbers are wrong in that we used Nov numbers before all the recounts.

I’m sorry...I don’t buy it all. I don’t believe a word. I don’t think for one minute that Obama wanted her to concede for the good of the country. I do not for one minute believe she was this calm. I think this book was written to give us a dishonest view of what went on and to portray her in a much better light. They threw in some realism but I’ve no doubt the ignored a lot of stuff.

Bingo. That’s the word I was looking for:”sanitized.” I don’t believe this account for one minute and never have. I do not think for ONE SECOND that Obama wanted her to concede “for the good of the country.” Let that sink in FReepers before you buy this story...Obamas primary concern was for the “good of the country?” Yeah right. I’m sure that’s what he said. If you think that your past being gullible.

Very unexpected that she would apologize to Obama for losing. Kinda wonder how accurate that part is.

Why should she apologize to Obama? After all, it wasn't her fault, it was those pesky Russians.

The way the authors told the story of her anger and sadness- would this have been written about a man? If not, why not?

A telling excerpt of the article:

“Fox News called Wisconsin for Trump — a judgment that other news agencies declined to validate for hours.”

This is typical. Studies have shown how quick they are to declare democrat victories, but drag their feet in declaring republican victories.

Because the ‘if this SOB wins, we’re ALL gonna hang’ referred to zero and his bunch more than her gang.

Random notes while skimming article:

- “...Hillary and Bill Clinton on their floor at the top of The Peninsula hotel, a five-star facility a block from Trump Tower”
Cocky, preparing to gloat over the opponent’s inevitable loss, never considering that she might have to stare at the winner’s luxury skyscraper _home_ mere feet from her briefly-rented abode (wherein one wouldn’t want a blacklight).

- “Clinton’s campaign anthem, “Fight Song,” blared across the room”
That sums her problem up as well as anything: generic, no spark. They needed a fight song to rally around ... so they picked “Fight Song”. Golly. How. Inspiring.

- “No one in the party had a better feel for the state than Schale, ... who had worked on the Draft Biden campaign in 2015”
The best poll wrangler the campaign had pushed for gaffe-o-matic BIDEN? If your best is deranged, it won’t go well.

- “Hillary sat stone-faced, trying to process the unexpected and abrupt reversal of her fortunes”
Calm before the storm. Her life’s work crumbling, her standard demeanor “angry control-freak b!tch”, ... when she goes quiet, flee.

- “[Noting Brexit, Bill had] seen the trans-Atlantic phenomenon of populist rage at rallies across the country, and warned friends privately of his misgivings about its effect on Hillary’s chances”
Did he bother warning _Hillary_?!? Crashing vote number is rather a late point to bring up the point of “oh, by the way, your opponent is getting 1000-to-1 rally numbers over yours”.

- “The president wants you to concede, Mook told her”
There’s a great ultra-slow-motion video of a bullet hitting a glass pane.
There’s a Simpson’s frame-by-frame clip of “you can see the moment his heart breaks”.
There’s a video showing a single frame where a manhole cover is launched into space as the fastest man-made object ever.
This is where that moment occurs.

- “I’m not ready to go give this speech.”
And, Hillary, that’s the moment you proved, objectively beyond all doubt, that you’re not presidential material.

- ““Congratulations, Donald,” she said”
And so her icy heart shattered.

- “Abedin approached her once again, phone in hand. ... “Mr. President,” [Hillary] said softly. “I’m sorry.””
And so ends the abridgment of the book, utterly failing to mention what we all know: that having had her life’s goal utterly destroyed by a Cheeto-haired fast-talking reality-show-host political couldn’t-be-more-outsider, she went bat$#!^-crazy in ways none of her staff, nor the hotel cleanup crew, will ever discuss.
