Bill and Hillary Clinton Will Attend the Trump Inauguration
Bill and Hillary Clinton have decided to attend the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States, according to two sources with knowledge of their plans. The Clintons will join former Presidents George W. Bush and Jimmy Carter, who have also announced that they will attend. George and Laura Bush said today that they would be present “to witness the peaceful transfer of power.”
Two well-placed sources tell New York that over the past few weeks Hillary Clinton discussed with trusted advisers and friends whether or not she should attend the inaugural. She and President Clinton, the sources said, decided to do so out of a sense of duty and respect for the American democratic process.

Part of me thinks this is for Obama as well.
The Clintons and the Obamas are the major core of the party, and we've seen an alliance between the two families that - had Clinton become president - would have been seen in history as remarkable (it still may).
Hillary has done a lot of work for the Obama Administration, I'm sure Obama could use the support inauguration day. It's going to probably feel somewhat like a funeral for him.

Is there a more childish phrase that attempts to portray others as being childish?

Duffy, who supported Trump in the election, said the Democrats are setting a bad precedent for how future lawmakers should respond when a presidential candidate they don't support is elected.
"What happens with the next Democrat Presidential-elect that goes through their nomination, are Republicans now supposed to say that we're going to stay home? That these events become partisan in nature," Duffy asked. "That's bad for the country." |
Gee, kind of like not holding hearings for a SC nominee until your guy is elected pres?
