Le soir de sa défaite historique, Hillary Clinton n’a pas osé se montrer à ses supporteurs qui l’attendaient dans une immense salle au plafond de verre.
Des journalistes ont affirmé qu’Hillary Clinton était en larmes.
C’est son directeur de campagne qui est allé dire aux supporteurs d’Hillary d’aller se coucher. Le fait qu’Hillary Clinton n’ait pas voulu saluer ses milliers de supporteurs peut être considéré comme un geste de mépris.
Hillary Clinton a fait un discours d’adieu le lendemain devant un petit comité.
Elle a dû rendre des comptes à ceux qui ont misé des centaines de millions de dollars dans sa campagne. Hillary Clinton a donné deux raisons principales à sa défaite : le comportement du directeur du FBI dans l’affaire des emails secrets et le fait qu’Obama ait laissé du champ libre au directeur du FBI.
Obama, qui a soutenu Hillary en organisant de nombreux meetings (ce qui est totalement inhabituel pour un président sortant), vient de donner son explication de la défaite d’Hillary.
Selon Obama, Hillary n’a tout simplement pas assez travaillé, elle n’a pas daigné se rendre dans des états du centre des USA pour y faire des meetings. Ce serait trop d’efforts !
Obama suggests Clinton didn’t work as hard as he did
‘I spent 87 days going to every small town and fair and fish fry and VFW hall,’ Obama said.
President Barack Obama didn’t quite blame his ally Hillary Clinton for causing her stunning loss to Donald Trump last week — but he chided her for not focusing on reaching out to white, non-urban voters like he did in 2008 and 2012.
Obama — about to hand off the presidency to a man whom he declared temperamentally unfit to serve — pointedly declined to endorse Clinton’s own explanation for her defeat, instead suggesting that the former secretary of state’s failure to “show up everywhere,” not just the big diverse cities she targeted in her final campaign push, proved to be her downfall.
“How we organize politically I think is something that we should spend some time thinking about. I believe that we have better ideas, but I also believe that good ideas don’t matter if people don’t hear them,” Obama told reporters Monday ahead of a foreign trip to Greece, Germany and Peru. “And one of the issues the Democrats have to be clear on, is, given population distribution across the country, we have to compete everywhere. We have to show up everywhere. We have to work at a grass-roots level, something that’s been a running thread in my career.”
Obama outperformed Clinton substantially in most suburbs and in critical swing areas in the Midwest, like Michigan’s Oakland and Macomb counties.
“You know, I won Iowa not because the demographics dictated that I would win Iowa. It was because I spent 87 days going to every small town and fair and fish fry and VFW hall, and there were some counties where I might have lost, but maybe I lost by 20 points instead of 50 points,” Obama said. “There are some counties maybe I won that people didn’t expect because people had a chance to see you and listen to you and get a sense of who you stood for and who you were fighting for.”
