Hillary Clinton embarks on her blame game book tour<\/a><\/h4>\n

Former Democratic presidential nominee points plenty of fingers for her 2016 election loss in her new memoir; reaction and analysis on ‘The Five’<\/p>\n

Hillary Clinton brought her promotional book tour to Washington, D.C. on Monday night.<\/p>\n

In a sold-out event, Clinton \u2014\u00a0who reportedly entered the Warner Theatre to a standing ovation and cheers \u2014\u00a0said she wrote her book because she wanted \u201cto make sure what happened, doesn\u2019t happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n

On one of a number of topics touched on during the event, Clinton discussed her presidential debates with President Trump, claiming that she acted the way she thought a president would.<\/p>\n

CLINTON CONSIDERS CONTESTING ELECTION RESULTS<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

“You are discomforted, annoyed, frustrated that he is stalking you and staring at you, but I thought it was better not to show that kind of reaction during a presidential debate,\u201d Clinton said. \u201cI thought at the end of the day people would say we really do want someone calm and composed in the Oval Office. So I was aware of the cross-currents, but I carried on in the way that I thought a presidential candidate should do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former First Lady added that being president is \u201cthe toughest job in the world,\u201d remarking that: \u201cIt used to require a level of curiosity and focus that you would want to think that someone with that responsibility would have.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI honestly thought we were in a different kind of campaign,\u201d Clinton said of her race with Trump. \u201cI know the ebb and flow of a campaign. \u2026 And I don\u2019t think anyone fully grasped that this was a variation on a presidential campaign unlike any we had ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clinton said that if she had lost to another Republican other than Trump, she \u201cwould have felt bad\u201d and wouldn\u2019t be worrying about the future of the U.S.<\/p>\n

She further lamented that she had lost the vote of white females \u2014\u00a0which Trump won by roughly 52%<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 due to the actions of former FBI Director James Comey.<\/p>\n

Comey sent a letter 11 days before the election stating the FBI was reopening an investigation into her emails.<\/p>\n

The failed presidential candidate claimed she was \u201cdistressed\u201d at the thought that federal workers are being disregarded by the Trump administration in their respective fields, saying, for example, \u201cNorth Korea: people who know the language, have the experience, they should be sitting in meetings with the highest levels of this administration providing advice.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cThere is such a disdain for federal workers, so I would say if you can stick it out \u2026 at some point, the country is going to need you, and I hope you\u2019re still there.\u201d<\/p>\n

And on the future, Clinton said she doesn\u2019t want the progress of today to be reversed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot to be proud of what people in the resistance are doing every day,\u201d Clinton said.<\/p>\n
