Hillary's concession

[Pericles]

I don't think Trump supporters have any right or ability to presume how Hillary supporters think and feel.

Sure we do.  That's what freedom looks like and sounds like.

Now if you're willing to agree that Hillary was off base in labeling 1/4 of America as "deplorables", we just might have something to talk about.  Until them, I'll presume 'til my heart's content.

Hillary lack of concession speech was her one little F you to the system. After working so hard and being held to such a high standard, while running against a man who broke every rule in spades and was celebrated for it, she broke the rule of 'loser must give a concession speech on election night'. Ironically, this was proper, even fitting; to dot every i and cross every t at the culmination of what happened would have been grotesque in a certain way. What happened fit the situation like a glove to its owner's hand.

What? Might it not have had something to do with the fact that the race was called at 2:30 am PT, 5:30 am ET, and thus would have had zero viewership unless she waited until the next day?

She could have, and should have, spoken before them in person.  Even if the election wasn't called, she should have stayed with them to the end. 

I think she became unglued.  If you're running for President, losing a close one when you are favored is always a possibility.  She couldn't be enough of an adult and suck it up and face her supporters.  I know that's a lot to ask, but the Presidency is a lot of job requiring a lot of composure.

Even though the networks didn't "call" the race until 2:30 am the writing was on the wall well before that

You're acting like a) all of her supporters were at the Javits Center on election night and b) that we were all going to commit seppuku unless Hillary came out to speak to us.

I don't care if she didn't want to give a concession speech on election night, or if she was overcome by emotion. I doubt a single Hillary supporter does. I doubt even a majority of Trump supporters care. The only people who would care, it would seem, were those for whom this was an anti-Clinton election above everything else and were licking their lips at an opportunity to see her cry on national television.
