Does not really matter, she's got more intestinal fortitude, than those dems who are not attending.....
Intestinal problems more likely and the diaper should cover for that! Hopefully, if she is there, it won't be 70 degrees so she can avoid passing out!
I am sure she would not want to be there, but not showing up would make her look even worse than the campaign she just went through. She needs to show up.

"Peaceful Protests" unacceptable yet enshrined within the Constitution.. Kind of tells the tales, eh?
It's become obvious throughout the transition that Trump is unable to deal with criticism.. It also appears his AVID followers too are unable to deal with criticism without b=calling names.. or demeaning whomever calls out something! From my tracking.. The only ones who are so AVID..are the ones who somehow belong to the 20% + or - of the base.. All the other Trump voters voted for many other reasons!!
Guess, Intolerance trumps when it comes to postings..however..even Many Trump voters are nervous..and HOPING for the Best.. At this point Nobody knows just how a Trump Presidency will affect them.
I say hope for the beat but be prepare for the worst. Unworthies may indeed feel the direct affects!! Sure hope not.. but be prepared!!
No one here has a problem with PEACEFUL protests or those that are within the law which the majority of liberals showing up do not comprehend. I realize that someone outside the country really would not have a clue. The newsfeed is horse poop that spreads this "fear" crap. We are not afraid. We are breathing a little easier knowing that Obama leaves the White House today and globalism is being held at bay.
Trump will be my POTUS is just a very few hours and everyone I know is thrilled about it. Our fear was that the morally, mentally and physically incompetent Hillary and her cronies promoting globalism and the destruction of our country as we know it has ended.

I agree! But, as you know, many don't think for themselves and would need to have the answer to your question along with any thoughts fed to them by liberal media or they would simply stammer when asked.

McCain would have done the proper thing, attend, unless there were circumstances, family, health, etc. that would have come up and prevented it.

And, hopefully not breaking anything else if she falls out again like she did at 9/11! I bet though, she is mad as a wet hen! Poor Bill!

Intelligent thought. Intelligent people are curious people. Also, many of us were taught things like American Government, US History and Economics, thus our interest in having an intelligent conversation about this election and how those subjects apply to the presidency.

Like at 9/11? I suppose she'll be drugged up enough to stay calm in the face of the public. I would not want to be around her this morning as I suspect she is raging like bull! I guess in my prayers that Trump stay safe, I should add Bill Clinton.
Is Hillary Clinton the first defeated Presidential non-incumbent candidate to attend the inauguration of their opponent? This due to her unique status as wife of a former living President.
Hillary is the first female candidate to win the popular VOTE for President to attend the inauguration of her opponent.
If Vladimir Putin attends the Inauguration, he will be the first person in attendance that hacked a General Election for a person who is utterly unfit to be President.
So she will be breaking some kind of glass ceiling
More likely she will be breaking glass while throwing a tantrum behind closed doors. Secret service agents aren't permitted to report about this stuff.
McCain and Kerry both attended as sitting US Senators. Gore attended as President of the Senate (which is what the VPs role is on Capital Hill.) Romney was not a Congressman or Senator so he would not have had the same position.
As much as some want to gloat or whine I think it is actually to our credit when the defeated candidate grants that level of credibility to the incoming POTUS.
Waldo, I'm pretty sure that Richard Nixon was at John Kennedy's 1961 inauguration, Hubert Humphrey was at Richard Nixon's 1969 inauguration, and Al Gore was at George W. Bush's 2001 inauguration; all three men would have been present due to their status as outgoing vice presidents.
This is a very interesting question, and I'm honestly not sure if any other politicians (other than outgoing presidents who were defeated for re-election) were at the inaugurations of their opponents.
It might have been that Hillary was there as the spouse of a former president. While I'm no fan of Hillary's, IMO it was to her credit that she was there, it had to be difficult, I imagine, for her.
