Hillary Clinton highlights the gracious letter the last losing Republican president wrote to his successor.Providing another example of how President Trumps reaction to his election loss differs from other presidents, Hillary Clinton on Tuesday posted a letter that an outgoing president, George H.W. Bush, wrote to an incoming one, Bill Clinton, in 1993.
You will be our president when you read this note, Mr. Bush, a Republican and the last incumbent to lose re-election, wrote to Mr. Clinton, his Democratic successor, on Inauguration Day. Your success is now our countrys success. I am rooting hard for you. Good luck.
Heres how its done in America, Mrs. Clinton wrote on Instagram, describing the letter as gracious.

That was before Rush and Newt made "being a condescending prick" a Republican value.

he just knew how to act like it and how to behave in public.
