".....on that sunny fall day, when the world was new and Donald Trump was just a reality TV star, Clinton addressed the crowd, borrowing her opening line from Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. “I’m baaaack!” she triumphantly declared, an eerie foreshadowing of the psychological terror and crazy-making, glued-to-CNN cabin fever that Campaign 2016 has inflicted on so many Americans."
"Even women who are sad for Hillary Clinton’s crushing loss this week are somewhere between angry and annoyed with her, too — and not about emails. Why is that?
We’re mad because she stayed way past closing time and as a seasoned politician she should have known the party was over. There is no crying in politics, and there are no sequels, either. You take your best shot at the highest office in the land and if you fail, you exit stage left and give someone else a go at it.
Yes, Clinton’s Presidential ambitions in 2008 were reasonable, laudable and justifiable, but by 2014 they seemed blind, raw, and naked: she looked less like the spirited girl whose mother taught her to “never quit” and more like the myopic matriarch refusing to make a graceful exit."
