Do you think it was wrong that Hillary sent John Podesta to address her supporters on election night

[Table]

Instead of going there herself to address them even though she called Drumph to concede?

I was talking to someone who said that showed she abandoned her supporters when they needed her most, and that showed she was a bad leader.

I had never thought of it like that before. I was so upset on election night (crying) and I wouldn't be surprised if Hillary was too upset to address the crowd at that point. It was better to have John Podesta disband the crowd rather than have them there all night.

I don't agree that Hillary not addressing her supporters on election night showed that she is a bad leader.

7. No

8. No.

I think she and her staff have been through enough elections to know that while generally accurate, election night numbers are highly speculative based upon large returns from fast-counting counties. First and foremost she probably wanted time to process and discuss it. Next, she wanted to find out what votes, if any, were still pending.

Better to ensure all information is accurate prior to addresses your supporters and the nation.

9. No, I don't. Frankly, I don't think I could have watched a concession speech that night anyway.

I couldn't even bring myself to watch the news for several days. I knew that they would be showing Trump every few minutes and I just wasn't ready for it.

10. No.

12. Do you take issue with Trump making sexual comments about prepubescent girls?

Do you think that disappointed his supporters?

13. she is still hiding. rejecting our moral claim to being the popular vote winner and will of the

people.

14. Not at all

[BzaDem]

15. No. Things were more up in the air at the time than people realized.

She did concede, but I wouldn't be surprised if that decision wasn't final when they sent Podesta out.

It is also likely that they would have waited until morning to concede if they realized how close the final results would be.

16. I wasnt emotionally capable of doing just about anything after it was clear what was happening

That she was cognizant enough to deliver a message is impressive to me.

17. Do you think that Drumpf conspired with his friends to rig the election?

[jalan48]

18. No, she was devastated. Why did it matter anyway?

[Table]

20. I know I agree. But then people from the other side say

if she couldn't even show up on election night then how could she handle being president.

21. People can be cruel-they wanted to see break down on national TV.

It wasn't enough that she lost-we live in a very troubled time.

19. I'm not a Hillary fan, but don't care about this.

22. I liked it better the old way: "I was talking to someone at the tavern today ... "

or "Overheard at the tavern today ... ."
