Hillary Clinton opens up

These have been very very tough days, Hillary Clinton said on her defeat in the American Presidential elections. “I am not going to sugarcoat it. These have been very, very tough days,” Clinton told her campaign members and volunteers.

In her her concession speech to President-elect Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton has said that the days following her shocking defeat ls have been “very, very tough” for her. “I am not going to sugarcoat it. These have been very, very tough days,” Clinton told her campaign members and volunteers.

“This is a tough time for our country. I think we have seen how people have been reacting to the events of this election and I know we have got to be reaching out to each other to keep it clear in our own minds that what we did is so important,” she said.

“It looks like we are on the path to winning the popular vote, and that says volumes about the importance of your work and the lasting impact it will have,” Clinton said.

Clinton described that her campaign as “one of the greatest honours” of her life. “This is a hard loss for all of us because we know what was at stake in this election and we have to do everything we can to continue to support the causes we believe in. When you are ready, I hope you will get up and back in there and keep fighting,” she told her supporters.

“Hillary has shown us every single day. The measure of a person is not whether you get knocked down, but whether you get back up. As she said on Wednesday, ‘Let us have faith in each other. Let us not grow weary and lose heart, for there are more seasons to come and there is more work to do’,” Clinton Campaign Manager Robby Mook said.
