The reaction in many quarters to Hillary Clinton’s reflective, candid assessment in her book, What Happened, of her devastating loss to Trump tells a lot about why she lost. She’s still being raked over the coals. She’s still called too guarded, not honest enough, too stiff, and even “robotic.” This fits in with the almost set-in-stone depiction of Clinton as cold, aloof, and totally unable to connect with real people.
This supposedly stands in stark contrast to Trump, who appeared to be the consummate people person who spoke the common man and woman’s language. Then there’s the standard cherrypick at the most petty and sensationalist quip in What Happened. That’s the one where she says during her October 2016 debate with Trump, that he was a “creepy” guy who made her extremely uncomfortable. This makes it appear that Clinton is a trembling, terrified whiner and loser.
In truth, Clinton doesn’t shrink from frank, straight-talk criticism of her and the campaign’s missteps, spiced with important insights into what could and should have been done different. These are the kind of precious insights that are anything but woulda-coulda apologetics from a sore loser. They offer much of value for Democratic candidates and incumbents in what will be a bruising mid-term election in 2018, with much at stake for the Democratic Party desperate to put a dent in the GOP’s number. This is their only hope to check Trump and the GOP’s drive to roll back the 20th century.
The real answer to what happened to Clinton in 2016 won’t be found in her book. You’d have to go back more than a decade, when the GOP took dead aim at then Senator Clinton as a potential presidential contender.....

The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy’s fault?
I waited 20 years to vote against the b#tch.
“Does this man inhabit the same planet that we do?”
No.
Sorry, Hillary Clinton is a corrupt, charmless, cold fish. Others are corrupt, others are charmless, others are cold fish, but she brings all 3 to bear in an unbearable melange of ‘Yuck”.
Sorry folks, that’s all she wrote and all she needed to write.
Why are they comparing her to Trump? She has been the wicked witch for decades...long before Trump decided to run.
Besides, Trump has various incidents when he stepped in to help people out of the goodness of his heart about the same time Hilary was firing decent people and ruining their lives in her quest for massive power.
I’ve read many books and they say the same thing about how unbelievably horrible she is. Why anyone put up with her I do not know.
> Clinton doesn’t shrink from frank, straight-talk criticism of her
Hahahahahahahahha! It’s everyone else fault but hers!
Candid is not the first word that comes to mind when I think of her. (Do I get the ‘Understatement of the Day’ award?)
What, we weren’t smart enough to realize how blessed we were by Hillary Clinton?
EOH is insane.
The cult of Clinton is absolutely astonishing. The hate of President Trump has more to do with the fact they they thought they would waltz right into the Kenyans seat.
I don't think Clinton is too terribly bright,but I do believe the bitch has evil ambitions,lust for power and money and a KILLER mean streak. Like most politicians,she has a narcissistic and pathological detachment from reality. She is pure scum. Benghazi alone gives her a ticket to Hell with Obama.
Can you imagine cross-referencing all of those lies before uttering a sentence? No wonder she sticks to meaningless platitudes.
I still think Bernie should write a book titled: “What Happened Before What Happened: How Clinton Corrupted the Democratic Primary Process”.
Praise her. Inflate her ego. Induce her to run again.
Roll back the 20th century? Engage in hyperbole much there idiot?
The HuffingPost is to news what Quaker instant oats is to 5 star cuisine.
1.) She was a lousy candidate.
2.) She is a crooked and an unindicted criminal.
3.) Fifty percent of the American public have visceral reactions to her.
4.) She is vindictive and she quite possibly has gotten people killed who crossed her.
5.) She has done everything in her power to kill as many babies as she can.
6.) She stinks like death warmed over.
There many more but I am too tired to line them all up tonight.
I don't know why people say that.
LOL
