I'm sorry, I can't feel any sympathy for Hillary. It's not like this was a single election night. This was a drawn out primary, and if Hillary was truly deluding herself up until the very end that she was going to win, then she didn't deserve to win. And if she saw things for the way they were, then she had to know a long time ago that eventually she would have to concede.
