Ben Rhodes Election Night Shock Clip From HBO Becomes Internet Comedy Meme
Newsbusters ^ | June 16, 2018 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 06/17/2018 6:53:26 AM PDT by PJ-Comix

Most of HBO's documentary The Final Year features members of former President Barack Obama's foreign policy team in 2016 oozing extreme hubris over how wonderful they thought they were. That came to an abrupt halt on Election Night when Donald Trump knocked them off their perches by winning the presidency. None was more shocked than Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes (although United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power came close). 

A clip from the documentary shows a devastated Rhodes sitting outdoors after discovering his liberal world has been shattered. His shock is so extreme that he is actually struck dumb and is unable to form any coherent words. It was a sharp contrast to his smug certainty of Hillary Clinton's victory expressed several times during the documentary.

When totalitarian thugs lose power ... Like Hitler in his bunker.

Or did he?

......the Clintonistas were shocked that the corrupt payday was coming to an end....

Right......and what happened to the resurrected Clinton Foundation gala promising "access" for a price?

The controversial Clinton "charity" was ready to reemerge after laying low following Hillary's losing 2016 presidential election. The event, was set for New York City on May 24, offered premium packages for up to $100,000, which include a table of 10 and "invitations to the (cough) Clinton Foundation Annual Briefing." (Be still my heart) Tickets to the glitzy benefit started at $2,500.

Freeper LS had an inside source in the Trump campaign telling him that the Trump's internal polling had Trump winning this Monday before the election.

I recall that Hillary had a huge fireworks display planned in New York and cancelled it a few days before the election. Presumably, she cancelled it because of fire concerns, but I think that reason was to save face. After all, fireworks shows are produced in tons of venues all over the country without burning down neighborhoods. She knew she was going to lose.

......inside sources were saying that Trump's internal polling had Trump winning the Monday before the election....

It is an established fact that (from internal polls) when the candidate enters the voting booth to vote, s/he already knows whether s/he's won or lost.

"OMG! The Youtube over video ad that popped up right when
Hillary appeared was for high performance servers.
That just made my day."

I liked the one for pick pocket proof pants that appeared under Hillary!
Appropriate apparel for wearing around the Clintons!
I might check it out myself.

When I heard Trump won, but that Hillary had not conceded, I imagined her cabal calling in every chip and pulling every string to try and turn it around. When she finally conceded, I could only guess that she spent every owed favor to win the primary and any strings that could be pulled were already in the hands of someone else.

OMG! look on the Halfrican's face when he met Pres-elect Trump.

Absolutely. His worse nightmare happened on November 8th! Trump is in Boobamba's head. And Trump keeps taking Obama down step by step.

The funny thing is that Boobamba still thinks he's a great statesman. Bwahaha! Remember when the Chinese "forgot" to send a stairway to the airplane in Shanghai.

Don't you love how Dennis Rodman dissed him: "Obama wouldn't give me the time of day!" It doesn't actually get better than that!

CNN: What's that hat you're wearing there, Dennis?

Rodman's last interview on CNN.

Love Hurts!

When one falls ‘in love’ with the wrong guy; moves on to others when they find he’s not the ‘won’ they thought he would be.

Dennis and K. West both scored when they realized the truth of the situation, when they made their facts known, they scored bonus points.

AND THIS.......weeks before he exited, he was sap-happy about having high approvals.

The braindead jerk never figured his approvals were high b/c Americans were relieved he was finally leaving office.

ROTFLOL.

I saw a clip on You Tube from this documentary from Susan Powers apartment. It was awesome! Here she is , this smug elitist bitch chilling the champagne all set to pop the corks for Hillary’s coronation and as the results start coming in to see the look on their faces as they realize they’re toast is priceless.What’s remarkable and galling at the same time is these elitist bastards thought so much of themselves and how high and mighty they were that they were filming what they thought would be them making history, electing the first woman president. What these morons did in the end was film their own humiliation. Trouble is though I haven’t been able to find that clip again.
