It must have taken everything in her to get Hillary Clinton to attend the inauguration of President Donald Trump.
And from the looks on her face throughout the ceremony, she would probably have preferred to be back in New York walking in the woods by her house.

The failed 2016 Democrat nominee and her husband, former President Bill Clinton had to face campaign friends and foes at the event, and one has to wonder what must have been going on in their minds.

The former secretary of state tweeted her message about attending the inauguration.
I’m here today to honor our democracy & its enduring values. I will never stop believing in our country & its future. #Inauguration

The Clintons had to wait with former President George W. Bush and wife Laura to walk in together.

She was apparently in no mood to answer questions either.
Awkward. CNN reporter shouts at Hillary Clinton as she arrives at the Capitol, “How does it feel to be here today?” No response.

Walking out to take a seat must have felt surreal for the woman who was confident of a win against Trump, securing her name as the first female president.

At least she acted like a big girl and even showed up, shaking the hand of her former opponent. That’s more than can be said for the dozens of Democrats that boycotted the inauguration and Clinton’s supporters who are still in denial.
Twitter users had fun speculating on the thoughts running through the Clintons’ minds as they reluctantly welcomed the Trumps as the new first family.
