No one ever is defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.
You don't want people to think, 'Oh, she was a person who was bitter because she didn't win.' You can't always win at everything.
I refuse to see losing as a negative. Obama lost in '83 when he ran against Bobby Rush. Hillary lost in '08. Even Lincoln lost the first election. It's a useful learning experience.
When you're down 35, it's kinda hard to really show excitement on the bench.
Nobody loses gracefully and easily, but there is a way to go about it.
I haven't lost a war. No one got killed. I just lost a tennis match.
