"I know that over the past week a lot of people have asked themselves whether America is the country we thought it was," she said.

Clinton probably isn't finding much solace in the fact that she won the popular vote by more than 1 million votes.

"There have been a few times this past week when all I wanted to do was just to curl up with a good book or our dogs, and never leave the house again."

Us too, Hillary. Us too.
