Hillary Clinton for the first time revealed the victory speech she would have given had she won that year, and admitted she did not even bother to write a concession speech.
Democrats were blindsided by former President Trump's win that year and Clinton spent much time blaming Russian interference for her loss.
The former nominee, who earlier this year boldly declared she would 'never get out of the game of politics,' proved she has not gotten over her sore loss as she shared the speech with NBC's new Masterclass streaming platform, and also appeared on NBC Sunday to talk about the experience with anchor Willie Geist.
'In this lesson, I'm going to face one of my most public defeats head-on by sharing with you the speech I had hoped to deliver if I had won the 2016 election,' Clinton says in the video.
'I've never shared this with anybody. I've never read this out loud. But it helps to encapsulate who I am, what I believe in, and what my hopes were for the kind of country that I want for my grandchildren, and that I want for the world, that I believe in that is America at its best.'
'My fellow Americans, today you sent a message to the whole world,' she begins, sharing what she would have read to the world. 'Our values endure. Our democracy stands strong. And our motto remains: e pluribus unum. Out of many, one.'
'We will not be defined only by our differences,' Clinton continues in the speech. 'We will not be an us versus them country. The American dream is big enough for everyone. Through a long, hard campaign, we were challenged to choose between two very different visions for America. How we grow together, how we live together, and how we face a world full of peril and promise together.'
'Fundamentally, this election challenged us to decide what it means to be an American in the 21st century. And for reaching for a unity, decency, and what President Lincoln called 'the better angels of our nature.' We met that challenge.'
On Nov.
