Plenty of blame to go around, but none for the candidate herself?
ByGlennman8on September 13, 2017

Format: Hardcover



Clinton blames everyone but herself in this memoir of a failed Presidential candidate. I guess this is what happens when the losing candidate tries to publish a book complaining about losing an election. I don't think I've seen this before in my lifetime. Don't bother buying it now, the book is garbage, just terrible. BUT, if you have a passing interest in reading it, just wait a few months, the half price book stores will be flooded with them. I'd bet they'll even have some autographed copies there. Yes. It's that bad.

I read this book hoping to gain some key insight ...
ByD. Mackon September 13, 2017

Format: Hardcover



I read this book hoping to gain some key insight into the Clinton campaign, but instead all I got was a muddled mess of excuses for the supposedly most qualified candidate ever to run for president losing to someone who had never run for any office. Throughout the book, Hillary can't comprehend the pulse of the everyday American and at one point inexplicably interprets the message of 1984 by George Orwell as being "people have to trust their leaders more". Did she even read that book? If she had, maybe she'd understand why people weren't keen on her.

Should be titled, "WAAAAHHH IT'S NOT MY FAULT"
ByJasminon September 13, 2017

Format: Hardcover



Seriously, if I wanted to hear about how someone's failure is on everyone but them, I'll talk to my 3 year old when she breaks something. Oh wait, my 3 year old even knows how to accept her failures as her own.

Worth the time
ByReal Audiophileon September 13, 2017

Format: Hardcover



This book is worth the time if you are looking for a comedy. I just got through this train wreck and realized it is a book of excuses. Very painful to read. Wait until it hits the .99 cent bin in a week or two.

Anything and everything but herself .. 'Covfefe'
ByRJ Parker, Ph.Don September 12, 2017

Format: Kindle Edition
|
Verified Purchase
It's pathetic and immature that Clinton can't accept personal responsibility for her loss. She was a terrible candidate and had a hard time defeating Bernie. Only for the super-delegates in California, Bernie would have beaten her.

But, according to Hillary, 'What Happened' was ...

Suburban women didn't like her
The Russians interferred
The FBI and James Comey
Facebook
Twitter
Wikileaks
Bernie Sanders
TV Executives
Cable News
Fake News
The Democrats
The Republicans
Low informed voters
The 'Deplorables'
Content farms in Macedonia
Obama winning two terms
Bad polling numbers

But of course Donald Trump didn't play any part in her losing. She simply did not connect with people. To her it was like she had an entitlement because of her name.

My take: the level of rationalizing this woman is capable of just defies credulity. Like a drug addict who refuses to admit his addiction, Hillary could very well go to her grave unable to admit that her problems were largely caused by her.

Most qualified person in the country loses....wha happened????????
ByAbigail Adamson September 12, 2017

Format: Hardcover



It was fascinating learning how the "most qualified person in the country" is a victim of the same Russians she sold 25% of our Uranium mines to. I never realized this powerful pants suit aficionado would lose only because of other white women, Bernie Sanders, Barack Obama, Jill Stein, James Comey, poor voter data, voter suppression, sexism, racism, the New York Times, that G-dforsaken electoral college, bad polling, voter ID laws, gullible Americans, and most of all, fake news. To think this strong, dynamic, deep thinking, selfless humanitarian could have been our POTUS brings actual tears to me eyes. My only solace is that now she and her loving life partner Bill can now spend more quality time together. I hear a close personal friend has offered them a second honeymoon on his private Little Saint James island, it's well deserved!

What happened?
ByIsaacon September 11, 2017

Format: Hardcover



What happened is she can not take responsibility for many of her own actions and blames her failure on sexism.

Ironically, it's things like this that cause people on the fence go to the other side just to spite her.

Doc Glockster posted: More. Some of these are quite funny

Sorry dude, typical fake news headline, there aren't more.

First, did not vote for Hilary, would not have voted for Hilary under any circumstances I could foresee.

Second, realize I'm shouting into the echo chamber.

Amazon shows 444 reviews, 95% five star; 1% four star; 1% three star and 3% one start. Not really an epic slamming by any means.

Overwhelmingly folks who would buy HC's book are true disciples. Apparently among those true disciples are 2% (four and three star votes) honest enough to admit that the book, and apparently the author herself, are not perfect.

So that leaves us with the 3%, or 13 of 444 folks who may have bought the book out of morbid curiosity to see what the Great Sataness had to say.

So it is surprising and noteworthy to you that they ripped her?

I read from some other sources that Amazon deleted some 900 reviews, a lot of which were posted before the book was even released. The ones I posted above are the remaining ones. So there were indeed some fake ones. That's beside the point. The point is that people hate this bitch so intensely that they couldn't wait to savage her new book.

I have seen multiple sources across the web claiming 1 star reviews are being taken down. Nothing to indicate if these reviews were from verified purchases or not. (Not to say that matters to validity of reviews but does to amazons deleting reviews or not.)

Yeah, but you can bet a lot of those 5 star ratings aren't valid either.

"Greatest book I ever read and kept me wanting more" or some silly nonsense. That's pretty much meaning "I didn't read the book, but felt like leaving a five star rating since she was MY candidate and should have been President."

So this happened at Hillary's blame game manual signing . . .

:lol:


“Hi, it’s so great to see you. Thanks for having me,” said Loomer. “So the American people would really like to know what happened to your 33,000 emails?”

“Hahahah,” Clinton said back.

“What happened in Benghazi?” asked Loomer.

“Go read the book,” answered Clinton.

“What happened to the millions of dollars that was supposed to go to the people in Haiti?” Loomer asked, referring to the millions of dollars in earthquake relief donations the Clintons were reportedly in charge of. “What happened to Seth Rich?

What happened to your health Hillary?”
“You know what, I’m so sorry you believe things that are untrue,” Hillary replied. “Read the book.”

That song was great, awesome. I find it hard to believe that she can write a blame everyone book and then go on a whining book signing tour and people line up for it. But I guess as long as she sticks to the few blue counties out there the suckers will make it a success, or at least pad her pockets even more.

I fully agree with Amazon deleting bogus reviews. Part of the appeal of ordering from Amazon is that you have some confidence the reviewers are genuine experiencers sharing their honest impressions. Bogus reviews threaten the integrity of the whole reviewing process.

However...I enjoy reading the funny reviews regardless if they are real or not. The woman inspires such hatred that it often manifests itself in hilarious ways.

And I agree that it's not just the overtly negative reviews that might be suspect; anyone giving such a piece of trash five stars is likely a fanboy or girl reviewing her candidacy and not her book.

There hasn't been a more whiny, self-pitying, deluded load of literary claptrap than Hillary's new book...

and:

Hillary ran a diabolically elitist and blinkered campaign that basically boiled down to this mantra: 'Trump's disgusting, his supporters are a basket of deplorable idiots, I'm a brilliant woman, my husband used to be President, and I have lots of rich, famous friends – so vote for me.'
