Clinton: 'There was times this week when I wanted to never leave the house"

[Stef 61,674]

Hillary Clinton has made her first public appearance since conceding the election to Donald Trump a week ago, challenging supporters to continue the fight for a country that is “hopeful, inclusive and big-hearted”.

“I will admit coming here tonight wasn’t the easiest thing for me,” Clinton told the audience in Washington on Wednesday night. “There have been a few times this past week when all I’ve wanted to do was just to curl up with a good book or our dogs and never leave the house ever again.”

Clinton was scheduled to appear at the event – a gala for the Children’s Defense Fund, where she began her career more than four decades ago – before her stunning defeat. The organization’s founder, Marian Wright Edelman, a longtime friend, introduced Clinton to the predominantly female audience as “the people’s president”, noting that she was leading the popular vote by more than 1 million votes.

“I know that over the past week a lot of people have asked themselves whether America is the country we thought it was,” Clinton said. “The divisions laid bare by this election run deep. But, please, listen to me when I say this: America is worth it. Our children are worth it. Believe in our country and fight for our values and never, ever give up.

She had to put up through so much BS, being picked apart for every little thing she did. Judged and attacked at every corner.

Just to lose to an imposter.

I mean imagine losing to an unqualified celebrity and realizing your country is full of morons all in one night.

I guess this was the inspiration behind Daily Mash's article

"I feel a bit sorry for myself, says woman who delivered world’s largest superpower to fascism"

"

THE woman who failed to stop the world’s largest military power falling to a rabid reality TV star has admitted feeling a bit sorry for herself. 

Hillary Clinton, who ran a presidential campaign so empty and entitled it allowed a tiny-eyed maniac to become leader of the free world, admitted that afterwards she felt so sad that she could not properly enjoy ice-cream. 

She continued: “My husband, Bill – you remember Bill, he was president for eight years which is why I thought it was fair I should be – was worried about me. 

“He was like ‘Hey, it’s a sunny day, we’re wealthy enough to survive the coming depression and not Muslim enough to get sent to the camps, let’s play some frisbee!’ 

“I couldn’t stop moping about that job I’d really set my heart on and didn’t want to go outside, even though rationally I knew I should before the drone-enforced curfews begin. 

“But I realised that millions of ordinary Americans were literally shitting themselves and bucked myself up.

“Now I’m cheerful again and planning our retirement in Paraguay where we’ll avoid the civil war, environmental catastrophe, and famine. Life is good!” "

Poor Hillary. You can tell she's physically and emotionally exhausted. The campaign was a roller coaster to say the least, and the result was heartbreaking, I can only imagine how defeated she feels. 

[bionic 50,111]

Hilldog should stay in the public eye throughout Trump's presidency and act as a constant "I told ya so!"
