AIBU to wonder where Hillary is?

[Wookiecookies]

Ok, sorry in advance for posting yet another election thread in AIBU so please hide post if necessary but, after everything thats happened is anyone else really surprised that she didnt at least thank her supporters at the rally? There's been nothing from her at all!

Its just bizarre.

She's been locked up ain't she.

Thanks for the link.

It's live isn't it? So she hasn't started yet?

This is a really horrible thread

OP asked a legitimate question.

Please don't tell me that her camp wouldn't have been climbing all over Trump if he had lost and hadn't spoken last night. It has been talked about in the media.

My family in the US are Democrats and campaigned. They are devastated. They were still suprised she didn't speak last night.

BBC says it will be soon Saffron How soon I don't know.

Still waiting. I wonder if she has had a complete breakdown.

This is a horrible thread because it seems so designed to find fault, character faults in particular, when the actual reason could be anything and we don't know. She's just lost after what must be an unimaginably exhausting process, and it was so close... why does anyone actually feel the need to pile more criticism on?

As for 'if Trump did this he'd be roasted' or words to that effect - well it's not as though you're letting her off are you?? And I doubt he would be - I suspect people would assume he'd been sensibly advised not to concede before the result was absolutely definite. I don't think conceding before you've definitely lost is a sign of character, particularly.

It says here that she was too devastated to deliver her speech. www.google.co.uk/amp/www.standard.co.uk/news/world/hillary-clinton-had-concession-speech-ready-but-was-too-upset-to-give-it-a3390981.html%3Famp?client=ms-android-samsung

And I'm surprised she didn't speak too, but there's a difference between being surprised and leaping to sneery conclusions about her just not giving a shit about her supporters. That's just leaping to conclusions for the sake of finding fault.

She must be exhausted, humilitiated and pissed off that she's lost to someone who isn't at all qualified for the job.

Kaine is on now.

I wanted her to win and understand she must be devastated. But as an experienced politician she will have been well aware that these are the last moves you have to make when you lose. I would have expected her to grit her teeth and do it earlier.

Kain is speaking now so she must be about to appear.

Yes, she's far more likely to have been too devastated in the moment, than to just be sneering at her supporters and not giving a shit, or not understanding the basic need to thank her supporters.

So from now on I must question nothing, criticise no-one and keep my council lest I be called nasty/odious or horrible. Interesting. Duly noted.

She's just about to speak

I suspect she has had some kind of nervous collapse. But more, I think the team around her had broken down too.

Really this should have been done last night but I don't think she was fit and Podesta was all over the place - I thought he had lost it when he turned up last night and said they weren't going to concede. There was no chance and I suspect he had gone rogue considering she then conceded about 20 minutes later.

Unfortunately none of this gives a particularly presidential appearance and gives the trolls plenty of fodder.

Bloody hell, she looks very fresh faced considering!

Bill looks shattered, for her.

She doesn't look like she's had a breakdown does she! Tired and emotional but pretty good, considering.

Impressive speech, worth waiting for.

I still think she's really impressive. Great speech.

1st US concession I've ever watched...

I'm so impressed how she's managing to keep it together

Really great speech. So dignified.

Agree, good speech.

Great speech, dignified and positive
