Fair enough. But I want a President who's a little bit better, a little bit smarter, and a little bit tougher than "most people." If that makes me heartless, so be it. :
I agree that a President should be better, smarter, and more in command of his/her emotions. The last aspect concerns me about Trump, but I could be overreacting, and he could be fine.
Oh, don't get me started about Trump. The man is an egotistical jackass of epic proportions. My only hope is that Pence is able to adequately run the country while Trump is out grandstanding to get attention. (And I don't have a whole lot of confidence in Pence's abilities either.)
But this thread isn't about the egotistical jackass of epic proportions that we elected. It's about Hillary and her surprising reaction in defeat. Surprising to me anyway, because I've long thought toughness in the face of adversity was one of her traits.
I have to say I agree with you on this. Her reaction and lack of ability to get up in front of her supporters that night was a big surprise to me. And....like some have said...pretty classless and disrespectful of those waiting for her.
It is almost a middle finger to everyone who supported her and saying...."who gives a crap about you anymore...I obviously don't need you now".
I dont think that is rational. could be true. but i dont see it that way. I think they really thought is was ok to play "wait and see" as the counts continued to come in, probably waiting till morning. So they told all the folks that it would be best to go home. Then it was a short time later that Penn was called and it was a done deal. Its easy to assume that based on how things were going, actually calling Penn is something not many expected to actually happen. Well at that point, what's she supposed to do? Call everybody back to celebrate a loss?
There's some reaching here to paint Hillary as bad because these reasons. I dont take issues with any of this (of course my guy won right? LOL)
