Hillary Clinton Destroyed Her Own Campaign
The Daily Beast ^ | 9 Nov 16 | Betsy Woodruff

Posted on 11/10/2016 3:15:11 AM PST by SkyPilot

In the early hours of Wednesday morning, a woman stood in between a row of satellite trucks and a concrete wall outside the Javits Center in New York City—the Hillary Clinton’s “victory party”—sobbing and screaming into her cellphone, “How are we losing?!”

The answer on the other end was received by a wail.

And later that morning, the world learned that despite all the polling, all the momentum, and a second-to-none campaign operation, Hillary Clinton lost to a flaxen-haired maybe-billionaire best known for starring in an NBC reality-television show.

The Clinton campaign had hoped that the glass ceiling of the Javits Center would become the night’s enduring symbol. But instead, its basement cafeteria became a microcosm of the Clinton campaign.

Late into the night, grim Clinton supporters huddled around televisions on folding chairs, watching with blank faces as cable news commentators delivered blow after blow. And when Kelly Clarkson’s “What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger” anthem played over the speakers, it sounded more like a taunt than a battlecry. Many supporters didn’t want to talk. Instead, they hunched over their iPhones and beers.

Lani Brandon, an environmental attorney from Attica, New York, drank Barefoot cabernet sauvignon from a tiny plastic bottle as the results rolled in. She volunteered on Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign, and recalled her response to that loss with admiration.

“Even when she was conceding, she did it with class and elegance,” Brandon said. “This election alone, with him running, it has created—or maybe made people aware of—the hatred that already existed.”

Many were visibly misty-eyed.

“You’ve gotta make it quick,” said New Yorker Frank Capalbo when approached, “because I’m about to break out in tears.”

He loved Clinton for her brain, her guts, and her effectiveness, he said.

Don't be fooled by the title of this article. The author, Betsy Woodruff, is obviously a Hillary Disciple. She attempts to spin the truth at every turn. Look at the quote she chose as a reflection of Trump's win:

His thoughts on a Trump win? “A descent into fascism,” he said, “and America going over the precipice once and for all. And it scares the living daylights out of me.”

Liberals would not know "Fascism" if they tripped over it in the dictionary. Moreover, they worship Obama, who is as close to a Fascist as we have seen in 100 years. And last night, the media egged on the Fascist "protesters" mobs wo are throwing their temper tantrum against Trump and American democracy in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco.

Woodruff also attempts to minimize Hillary's crimes. She was "cleared." No, she wasn't. And when a real attorney general (Rudy Gulliani?) gets a hold of the evidence, I hope people go to prison.

Finally - you will hear the media, for months, harp on the fact that Trump must "Heal our nation and bring us together! He must VOW that he WON'T follow through with his pledge to have his Justice Dept investigate Hillary or her staff!!"

And in the next breath, the media foment's riots in the streets?

Screw them.

Investigate! Indict! Incarcerate!!!

We have the media's number. They cannot try to sell us this "unity" and "healing" garbage in an attempt to get the criminals off the hook, and then set fire to our cities, continue to assault innocent Americans, and then use Brown Shirt Sturmabteilung tactics. Sorry, but all the "goodwill" was spent. Back to the war. And your side is going to be held accoutable.

I was always wondering about this publication—did they name it after Hillary?

For her concession speech, comprised of her campaign workers — all white people. Is there a contradiction somewhere?

I am soooo sick of the accusations of *hate*.

What rhetoric.

Hate is terrorists blowing us up and cutting people's heads off, lady. Disagreeing with you and your globalist agenda is NOT hate.

She believed the polls, and her sycophants were afraid to tell her anything else

It’s like the emperor of Japan who thought he was winning the war until Hiroshima and Nagasaki went missing.

That is why you do not surround yourself with yes-men, and people only willing to tell you what you want to hear. You often miss what you NEED to hear.

Serious people, people of intellect, do not use the word “hate” because they understand that human emotions are far more complex.

When the MSM types use it they are painting “I am stupid” on their foreheads.

When the history books are written, both Hillary and Obama will be credited as the driving force behind the destruction of the Democrat Party.

It is NOT hate, it is common sense.

"How are we losing?"

----------------------------------

That's ease to answer.

Losing your insurance, thank a Democrat.
Losing your Doctor, thank a Democrat.
Paying higher insurance premiums, thank a Democrat.
Forced to buy coverage you don't need, thank a Democrat.
Paying higher deductibles, thank a Democrat.
Losing access to your hospital, thank a Democrat.
Paying higher co-pays, thank a Democrat.
And on and on...

There's also this:

Flatline Hillary's unaccountable, incompetent and criminal.

We The People 2016
We're all waiting to see Queen Hell in a cell.

He loved Clinton for her brain, her guts, and her effectiveness, he said.

His fantasy Hillary is drastically different than the real Hillary that I observed.

And effectiveness is not necessarily a good thing. Sure, she was effective in destabilizing the Middle East, but was that a good idea and did it have a positive outcome? And while she is extremely effective at extorting bribes, that kind of effectiveness is NOT what we need in a commander-in-chief. "Donate to my 'foundation' or we nuke your capital" is not good foreign policy.

Hillary's hell is only starting now.

She has no political power left, and never will again.

Watch for her cronies to start deserting her and Bill now. (Maybe even Bill will desert - although he did that, in spirit, long ago.)

It's breathtaking, the destruction she has wrought upon her own self.

And that is just, considering the evil she has done.

.....history will credit Hillary and Obama as the driving force behind the
complete and utter destruction of the Democrat Party.....

I think what appalled America is that these two are completely oblivious
about their off-putting personalities coupled w/ their destructive policies.

Liberals whine about "Fascism" but they wouldn't know Fascism if they
tripped over it sipping lattes in Starbucks.

And they stupidly worship the swaggering Obama, whose lawlessness, and
contempt for the democratic process, is as close to a Fascist as we have
seen since the era of the mugging, swaggering Mussolini.

Hillary wants to state she’s going to be the President of all the people.

She can make that statement while waiting in line for dinner in prison.

Still, it is gratifying thinking of the Hillary suck-ups----clutching
degrees in "Gender Identity" and "Climate Change" w/ nowhere to go.

Nobody but an idiotic liberal/progressive govt spending OPM would hire these freaks.

“How are we losing??”, she sobbed.

Simple answer. You didn’t cheat hard enough. You knew you weren’t winning this race on charm or the brilliance of your positions. Obama spent the last eight years governing against the will of the people and you were tied to the business end of those policies, doomed to continue them (and Obama had her by the short ones by dangling prosecution over her).

No, the only way out was to cheat, cheat cheat. So McAuliffe gives felons the vote in Virginia and Obama opens the welcome mat for illegals to vote and Donna Brazile gives her the questions in advance and pollsters oversample Dems so as to make her look unbeatable and the media goes way over the top demonizing a guy with no voting record to run against. It looked like it would be enough to ensure victory. Only, it wasn’t.

Had Hillary won, a perfect name for her actions concerning Trump and his followers would be, V for Vendetta.
Remember when Slick used the term ‘kill’ to describe how he handles his opponents?

By all accounts Hillary is a mean, hateful,foul mouthed, bitch.
Her concession speech was 100% BS.

Sometimes you get to see justice in this world.

She must be in a state of severe depression, knowing what is likely waiting for her and having her arrogant hopes of world dominion taken from her forever.

Everything she worked and schemed and killed for, all gone.

Forever.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving person.
