In her first televised interview since Election Day, Hillary Clinton said her election loss weighed on her dramatically. “I just felt this enormous letdown, just kind of loss of feeling and direction and sadness,” Clinton told Jane Pauley on CBS Sunday Morning, adding she “struggled” with the transition from the campaign trail to day-to-day life. “I couldn't feel, I couldn't think. I was just gob-smacked, wiped out,” Clinton said. The former secretary of state added that her biggest mistake was using a private email server.
