She never went away, hanging around like a bad aftertaste.
Her new book due out in September is titled “What Happened” - well known to everyone paying attention.
Why she lost to Trump is absent from its pages, fabricated reasons substituting, blaming everyone but herself - the most ruthlessly dangerous presidential aspirant in US history, a war goddess, Wall Street tool, RICO-level crook, partnered with husband Bill, a crime family since their Arkansas days.
It’s unclear what she was paid for her book. Earlier publisher deals were multi-million dollar ones. In 2000, she left the White House with a $4 million dollar advance on a new book, titled
“Hard Choices,” her contract guaranteeing $8 million for worthless rubbish.
At the same time, husband Bill got almost double for his book, a deal worth $15 million.
Hillary’s new book blames Russia and James Comey for losing to Trump, along with sexism, misogyny, and everyone assuming she’d win.
There you have it, the book in a nutshell, along with lots of backbiting. No one should waste time and money on it.
Her loss left her militantly anti-Trump, bashing him on air, in her new book, and likely every chance she gets. A gracious loser she’s not - a woman notorious for angry outbursts while first lady, a US senator, secretary of state and presidential candidate.
After one of her debates with Trump, she shamefully accused him of trying to intimidate her by invading her space, a ludicrous charge.
At the end of the debate, Trump wasn’t breathing down her neck, as she claimed. When she spoke, he stood behind a lectern awaiting his turn.
An excerpt from her new book said she felt uncomfortable sharing the same stage with him, wishing she could “hit pause, and say to everyone watching, well, what would you do?”
He “skin crawled,” she added. In recounting an October 2016 incident, she called Trump a “creep.” The deplorable passage from her book is as follow:
“It was the second presidential debate and Donald Trump was looming behind me. Two days before, the world heard him brag about groping women.”
“Now we were on a small stage and no matter where I walked, he followed me closely, staring at me, making faces.”
“It was incredibly uncomfortable. He was literally breathing down my neck. My skin crawled. It was one of those moments where you wish you could hit pause and ask everyone watching, ‘Well, what would you do?’
“Do you stay calm, keep smiling and carry on as if he weren’t repeatedly invading your space?”
“Or do you turn, look him in the eye and say loudly and clearly, ‘Back up, you creep. Get away from me. I know you love to intimidate women, but you can’t intimidate me, so back up.’ “
Does she expect anyone to believe Trump might have groped her on stage with millions of viewers watching?
There’s plenty about him to criticize, groping, intimidating or invading Hillary’s space not among them.
She a sore loser, a wretched individual, a hugely dangerous, wicked and ruthless one.
She’s her own worst enemy, her dismal approval rating showing public disdain.
A Hillary presidency would have been more nightmarish than Trump’s - combining the worst of the neoliberal 90s, Bush/Cheney and Obama.
WW III might have begun if she won. She and husband Bill are one of America’s most notorious crime families - remaining a threat out of office.
