Hillary Clinton acknowledges defeat and sends her followers to sleep

US Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton assumed defeat in this election bout that leaves Republican candidate Donald Trump as the president-elect.

Instead of the expected defeat speech, Clinton had his campaign chief, John Podesta, go on the podium to address all his supporters gathered at his campaign headquarters in New York.

"It's been a long night and a long campaign," said Podesta, who stressed that there were votes "to be counted." "Go to sleep".

Everything indicated that Clinton wanted to wait until the last count of the remaining states to be decided was defined, where the margin of advantage between the two candidates was very narrow.

Undoubtedly, this has been one of the strongest electoral contests in US history: assaults, taunts, threats and a host of unusual arguments have permeated the struggle between Clinton and Trump for more than a year, Came to an end with the victory of the real estate tycoon, who through his social networks has been happy and victorious with his family.
