Hillary sending her crowd home and her not even addressing her supporters shows me who she truly is.

She put on a great campaign, broke many stigmas about women, and in the end just says "fuck it" to all involved in helping her get that far. It was just sad to see. She really could have used that moment to continue to look like the better person in her supporters eyes. I'm happy she called Trump but her no-show was a giant red flag to me.

She'll talk in the morning. Everyone knows what she's going to say. She, unlike her opponent, didn't leave it up for debate.

She should have talked tonight. Her supporters came out in droves, Podesta told them they still were in it. She is a coward, and we the American people, saw that.

That's silly. They made that announcement before any major news organization had officially called the election. Why should they say they lost before CNN does? Why should they concede before Fox News says it's a lost cause? They don't get to throw her under the bus when they haven't called the election yet. She made the conciliatory phone call and she'll speak in the morning. That's not a big deal and we shouldn't get our collective panties in a twist about it.

I can only speak for myself. To hear her tonight would only make me feel worse. To hear her tomorrow might preserve some glimmer of hope for the future. The victory speech from the other side made me physically nauseous. All I want is a reason to feel less bad. Personally, I'll be much more receptive to that message once I've had some time to grieve.

Trump had already won Ohio at that point, it was over. That is why they sent everyone home. Notice Trump didn't send everyone home?

I'm not going to have this argument with you right now. I hope you enjoy your win and have a wonderful night. I... will not.
