Hillary Clinton says she can't move on from 2016 election, cried when Trump was convicted
It has been nearly eight years since former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lost her 2016 race against former President Donald Trump.
Yet despite the passage of time, recent remarks from Clinton suggest that she remains heartbroken over what happened.
Failed candidate wishes she could "move on"
According to CBS News, Clinton recently sat down for an interview with reporter Erin Moriarty this past weekend about soon-to-be released book titled "Something Lost, Something Gained."

At one point in her book, the 77-year-old former secretary of state indicated that the subject of her failed White House bid frequently comes up.
"Since 2016, people have asked me, 'Will you ever be able to move on?'" Clinton remarked before adding, "Move on? I wish!"
Clinton: "I got tears in my eyes" when Trump was convicted
What's more, the longtime Democrat told Moriarty that she became openly emotional earlier this year upon learning that a New York jury had found Trump guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg maintained that the records were falsified in order to conceal huh-money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
"I got tears in my eyes then, because this man has escaped accountability his entire life," Clinton recalled. "The case, which was mistakenly called a 'hush money' case, was an election interference case.
"Why did he do what he did? He did it to try to keep the information from the American public so that they wouldn't turn away from him and vote for me. So, it's a pretty clear case of election interference," she insisted.
When Moriarty inquired as to how Clinton felt about the possibility that her one-time opponent could be headed to jail she replied, "Looks like karma to me."
Pollster Nate Silver says Trump has Electoral College advantage
However, while Clinton spoke at some length about Trump's legal challenges, the former secretary of state did not address how she will feel if Trump once again prevails on Election Day.
Veteran pollster Nate Silver believes that possibility has a serious chance of coming to fruition, with his survey model giving Trump a 64% chance of winning the Electoral College.
As Fox News reported last week, one of the factors Silver pointed to was Harris' decision to pick Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate rather than Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro.
