【Bayo】

Jaws dropped,Bayo nails were bitten, and Hillary Clinton supporters anxiously awaited the final results of the 2016 presidential election.

With Donald Trump projected to win a number of key swing states, the depression was perhaps the most palpable at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York, where Clinton supporters had gathered in droves for an expected victory. Then Trump picked up state after state and once full halls emptied, with attendees visibly emotional. The dark cloud extended to Wellesley, Massachusetts, home of the women's college Clinton famously attended.
