You were prepared and balanced and cool under pressure.
You knew what you were talking about at every turn.
You saw the big picture, and you knew the countless small details that your opponent could never be bothered with.
You endured a relentless flood of misinformation by continually, plainly speaking your truth.
You had your character assassinated over and overand in response you simply showed that character.
You shouldered the kind of expectations that no man aspiring to the position has ever had to contend with.
You had to be both strong and sensitive, tough and warm, fierce and likableand you were.
You never talked in nonsensical sound bites, never ranted like a lunatic at your detractors, never viciously attacked citizens on social mediaand you never stooped to the inhumanity of your opponent.

(12,448 posts)There are many reasons she/we lost the election; none of them was due to a "bad campaign" or a "flawed candidate." We had a wonderful candidate; my heart was broken on election day and I still have bouts of crying.

(615 posts)In my opinion this might be the worst mistake we have ever made as a country outside of allowing and legalizing slavery.
This may go down as the decision that leads to the ruin of our country.

(1 post)This letter brought tears to my eyes because it's so well-said and because it reminds me of how much we will miss by not having Sec Clinton in the White House come Jan 2017. She's everything he wrote and more. I have been sad beyond words and Pastor Pavlovitz has given me, and maybe some of you, a way to express our loss. Thank you, Rev Pavlovitz, for helping say what's been on my mind and for restoring a little of my faith that some white, Christian, religious leaders in this country have actual Christian values. (I include the hierarchy of my own church, Roman Catholic, as part of the problem, of using single-issue politics to support Republicans while ignoring the social justice teachings of the Catholic church which are best represented by Democrat policies and ideology.) This is a loss for our country and for the rest of the world, which have been Hillary's the care and concern for her whole life, both personal and political.
