My brother-in-law David alluded to Hillary's recent Commencement Address at Wellesley, wherein she continued her "sore loser" meme -- apparently the only thing she does well these days. According to Breitbart News,

History, evidently, is not Clinton’s best subject. She likened President Donald Trump to Richard Nixon, whom she said had been impeached. In fact, Nixon resigned. [Wonder why she left out the fact that Bill had been impeached? Obviously an oversight.]

After that glaring error — compounded by the fact that Clinton’s husband was only the second American president to be impeached — Clinton then went on to accuse the Trump administration of "defending themselves by talking about ‘alternative facts.'”

She then presented some more "alternative facts” of her own, calling Trump’s new budget "an attack of unimaginable cruelty on the most vulnerable among us” and "a trillion-dollar mathematical lie.”

She never explained what she meant — and she did not have to. Clinton was on friendly territory: her alma mater, a liberal arts college, a largely female audience.

But there was something more than politics in her remarks. There was a desire to settle scores.

[...]
It was a petty, petulant performance. Clinton dwelled on the past, on an occasion devoted to the future. In a bitterly divisive speech, she accused Trump of fomenting division. America had disappointed her, and so young Americans had to bear the burden.

She tried to conclude on an inspiring note: "t’s often during the darkest times when you can do the most good,” she said.

It was a reminder of how much darker these times would have been had she won.
