According to <em>The Washington Examiner<\/em>, \u201cThat blown deadline is a huge blow for Democrats who have pinned their hopes on recounts in the Keystone State, Michigan and Wisconsin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a result of their stunning election loss, the Clinton empire has begun to unravel \u2014 and it has left former President Bill Clinton stunned.<\/p>\n<p>In early November, it was widely reported that, as poll numbers began to shift in President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s favor during the last days of the election, Hillary and Bill\u2019s had an intense screaming match over the phone, blaming each other for the failing campaign.<\/p>\n<p>According to <em>The Associated Press<\/em>, since the election, Bill \u201c<span id=\"_oneup\">has been poring over the election results, second-guessing decisions by top campaign aides and intensely trying to figure out how his wife lost the white working-class voters who were the base of his electoral coalition, say people familiar with the campaign.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, donations to the controversial Clinton Foundation have plunged this year, down a reported 37 percent. And Hillary has been left to wander aimless around the woods on long, lonely hikes near her Westchester home in New York, according to her remaining staffers.<\/p>\n<p>Even longtime Clinton cronies and aides are expressing their discontent. \u201cThis [recount effort] <span id=\"_oneup\">is a big waste of time,\u201d<\/span><span id=\"_oneup\">said former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, a longtime Clinton political ally who is urging Democrats to move past the loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"_oneup\">\u201cI wouldn\u2019t give a dollar to Jill Stein,\u201d said Adam Parkhomenko, a longtime Clinton aide, told <em>The Associated Press<\/em>regarding his fellow liberal\u2019s effort to overturn the election. \u201cVolunteers, supporters and Democrats, they want to pick themselves up and get back out there. The best vehicle to do that is the Louisiana Senate race,\u201d referencing a Dec. 10th runoff election that is progressive\u2019s last chance to pick up a Senate seat.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 The Horn editorial team<\/em><\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/thehornnews.com\/clintons-stunned-recount-falls-apart\/\">http:\/\/thehornnews.com\/clintons-stunned-recount-falls-apart\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58504","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58504","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=58504"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58504\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=58504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=58504"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=58504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
