This. This is all I can think to console myself. She has been so fucking strong, for so many years, she has been shamed and demonized and humiliated by people on all sides. And she kept putting herself out there. She didn’t back down, she didn’t give up, she didn’t hide. She is SO brilliantly, ridiculously strong. I…

In decades we’ll ask “what was wrong with us? Why didn’t we elect her? She would’ve been great!”

I’ve always seen her as warm and inviting. I’ve never understood how people could see otherwise.

Yes! I was just saying that to a friend today. If Liz Warren had run instead, I would have voted for her and been very happy if she won. But....it wouldn’t have been the same. For me, there was something about Hillary. To see her continue to prevail, with all the shit that got thrown at her for 40 years from men and wo…

That ! “ didn’t want a “fresh” “clean” “baggage free” woman to finally break that glass ceiling. I wanted a woman like Hillary, who would be living proof that if you worked long and hard enough that nothing could keep you down” Thank you for that.

i experienced all 3 of those today, in rapid succession, and cried like a baby every god damned time. we needed hillary in office if only to teach us all how to be stone cold bitches in the face of adversity.

^^^^^^This. All this.

Thank you for this❤️ I haven’t been able to articulate why I wanted her to win so much (other than the obvious) and this speaks to my soul. The first election I was old enough to vote in 2008 I went to a rally of hers in a fairly conservative Midwest college town (alone bc at the time all my friends were Rep). It hurt…

Bill Clinton - love him or hate him - but it breaks my heart to see him look at her like that.

Also, can we talk about how women are supposedly so emotional but she SLAYED that speech and Bill and Tim were about to cry like babies behind her? Ignore me tho, the woman who’s cried a gazillion times today between the hiking picture, “that’s my girl,” and Leslie Knope’s letter.

Yep. She will live on to inspire millions and she will run her foundation and do good around the world. She will become a female Jimmy Carter.

Bill looks so bereft during that speech and Hillary is icy poise. I love her. I wish I had her self control. I cry at the drop of a hat these days.

I had moved from sadness to anger this afternoon but am right back to sadness after watching that.

I think that whatever we know publically about them is but a small slice of their relationship. They have come a long, long way together - as people, as a couple, as professionals. They are still together because they mean something to each other, and in this mess of fear and grief and rage, I’m going to look at that…

SAME. Just lay in bed all day, crying, then sort of restively dozing, then crying again. I don’t know when I’ll be able to watch it. I’m still waiting to wake up from all of this.

CRYING. I purposely didn’t watch her concession speech. I couldn’t. I was just done. MOAR CRYING.

The idea of them taking a walk together, I had wondered about the dynamic of their relationship since Bill Clinton left office but I really want to believe they are best friends and truly support each other.  

So many emotions. Hill is so fucking cool. Bill is so proud. My god did someone hug Tim Kaine? Please tell me Tim Kaine is getting a real good hug 24/7.

Bill looked so much like he wanted to cry during her concession speech. I was irritated that the camera kept Bill in the frame during her moment, but then seeing Bill hold that pain helped me.
