...yeah but similar to our elections I would reckon.../you kind of know when it's over and hopeless if you're a candidate and if she's already calling 'rigged' the lady knows that she's already left the stage...

Mokka 09-11-2016 06:12 AM

Republicans hold the Senate :facepalm:

Maru 09-11-2016 06:12 AM

Could be a personal reason, which who can blame her... after this campaign

Yeah the stations are not making it official yet, but they're pretty much saying it's over... it's on to her to concede though

..I agree to an extent Leon but the whole thing has been poor stuff so I don't think we can apply any usual courtesies here...

She won't be the first to not conceed on the night... and neither should she yet. He doesn't have the numbers yet... and there are plenty of recounts to take place. I don't think any of that will end in her win...but give everyone a chance to breathe and let the reality sink in imo

Mokka 09-11-2016 06:16 AM

Hindsight being 20 20.... i would have made a drinking game out of the word Brexit tonight :laugh:

..yeah, her personal reasons being that she pulled in all of the establishment and political experience she could find and had which was substantial... and she still lost to an intolerant 'trash TV' person.../a personal embarrassment I would say...

arista 09-11-2016 06:18 AM

Clinton

arista 09-11-2016 06:19 AM

Well yeah, but considering she mocked him so much for his refusal to accept defeat, she is essentially doing the same thing. At least give that quick speech yourself to your supporters and tell them there will be more tomorrow. I'm just glad this is over anyway.

Northern Monkey 09-11-2016 06:21 AM

I bet she's been arrested for throwing the TV out of her hotel room window.She has a deadly temper on her

UserSince2005 09-11-2016 06:21 AM

Woke up to the best news ever. Knew I would. Dream come true.

I tend to think it as much a personal decision to concede as much as a patriotic design... some people just want to put it behind them. Other wants to take a step back and wait til morning for the full results. I imagine she doesn't want to rush it at 2AM (I just realized the time because my time settings were messed up :laugh: Thanks Windows). Maybe she wants to rewrite her speech. Maybe she wants to contest. All these possibilities are entirely plausible. But it'll give her time to decide what she wants to do while her people go through the results county by county...

Northern Monkey 09-11-2016 06:22 AM

She will blame Russia.
She'll run into the Whitehouse and smash the nuke button

..I honestly think with either of them, their supporters are less important to them in this than their own personal egos, just both really shabby people.../but yeah, phew it's over is all and hopefully we won't see so much of either in our media now...
