\u201cOn Tuesday evening, it cost me $200 to obtain the privilege of sitting in one of the top rows in the upper balcony section of a massive auditorium and watching a tiny blue dot surrounded by phlegmy yellow light.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The amazing thing about this dot is that it could talk. This was confirmed by sound emerging from speakers hidden somewhere behind me and a glance at the not-even-movie-theater-sized screen behind it. The dot congratulated members of something it called \u201cthe Hillary Clinton Fan Club,\u201d which might be because the dot in question was, in fact, the aforementioned former secretary of state herself.<\/p>\n

Clinton was here in the appropriately named Hill Auditorium allegedly to promote her new memoir, What Happened. It was the first book tour event that I have ever heard of charging admission, much less offering tickets \u2014 mine were among the cheapest \u2014 at prices that could easily get you into the Michigan-Ohio State game. There are 3,500 seats in the auditorium, and all of them looked full.<\/p>\n

But the really extraordinary thing was that Clinton didn’t actually seem to want to talk about her book. What I heard instead sounded a lot like a cry for help.<\/p>\n

A few weeks before Election Day last year, Clinton challenged Donald Trump to say that he would unconditionally accept the results on Nov. 8. It was a perfect gotcha question for someone of Trump’s temperament and he spent days hemming and hawing and publicly weighing various nightmare hypotheticals, but eventually he said that he maybe kind-of would.<\/p>\n

It is now clear that someone should have asked Clinton the same question.<\/p>\n

Clinton still isn’t accepting \u201cthe legitimacy of the election,\u201d as she put it. And why should she, when she knows that more than 200,000 undisclosed individuals in Wisconsin were prevented from voting \u2014 they must be the cousins of all those illegal immigrants who, according to Trump, pulled the lever for her in New Hampshire \u2014 and that every single one of them supported her? Why, if you believe that miscellaneous \u201cRussians\u201d \u2014 at one point she referred to a generic character named \u201cIgor,\u201d which is funny if your level of engagement with Russian culture does not extend far beyond Rocky and Bullwinkle horizons \u2014 bought Twitter ads in the hope of targeting 60- and 70-something union retirees in Macomb County, Michigan, would you not think you really won?<\/p>\n

It’s not just voter suppression in a state where Trump couldn’t even beat Sen. Ted Cruz in the GOP primary that Boris and Natasha spoiled Clinton’s victory. She also insisted that James Comey \u2014 who has apparently gone from being the sensible public servant who refused to recommend charges over the handling of her \u201cdamned emails\u201d to the villain of the October press conference to the selfless note-taking hero of the Russia investigation \u2026read more<\/a> <\/p>\n
