It seems that Vice President Kamala Harris' devastating loss to President-elect Donald Trump has triggered flashbacks for others in the political world who have lost horribly to Trump, namely the Clintons.
According to the New York Post, former President Bill Clinton, in a memoir released earlier this month, revealed that "he couldn’t sleep for two years" and was prone to "outbursts of rage" in the wake of his wife's loss to Trump in 2016.
Clinton added in the memoir that at the time of Hillary Clinton's loss, he wasn't "wasn’t fit to be around."
The 42nd president even apologized for having two years of "outbursts of rage."
Just like his wife, the former president had a long list of situations and people to blame for his wife's devastating loss to Trump some eight years ago, including blaming the Russians and hostial "political press" for influencing the outcome of the election.
"I apologize to all those who endured my outbursts of rage, which lasted for years and bothered or bored people who thought it pointless to rehash things that couldn’t be changed," Clinton wrote.
The former president described the 2016 election as the "darkest election possible in the United States."

Clinton wrote, "Almost two years after the election, Kathleen Hall Jamieson, a highly regarded social scientist said Russia’s cyber attacks piled on top of Comey’s interventions were effective enough to persuade voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to vote for third parties or stay at home."
He also blamed then-FBI Director James Comey for the email investigation, claiming it was a factor in Hillary being defeated by Trump.
Interestingly, Clinton also addressed his relationship with his former associate, Jeffrey Epstein, writing that he wished he'd "never met him."
"The bottom line is, even though it allowed me to visit the work of my foundation, traveling on Epstein’s plane was not worth the years of questioning afterward. I wish I had never met him," the former president wrote.
"I had always thought Epstein was odd but had no inkling of the crimes he was committing,” Clinton wrote, adding that he'd never visited the deceased sex-trafficker's private island.
“He hurt a lot of people, but I knew nothing about it, and by the time he was first arrested in 2005, I had stopped contact with him. I’ve never visited his island."
