“Hillary wrote the book because even if you don’t like her, she’s got some important things to tell us about how democracy is working in America today.”


I wasn’t thrilled when I heard Hillary Clinton was writing a book about the election to be released in September. My skepticism didn’t come from not wanting to hear her take on “What Happened” – a book title that everyone and their mother knew would be made fun of in perpetuity – but because I knew how it would be received by all the Hillary haters.

Over 10 months since election day that’s an ever-growing group that includes right wing media, Bernie backers, Bernie himself, Democrats facing re-election (and others that have taken to hating on her because it’s become so acceptable), pundits looking for a great soundbite, Trump backers, traditional Republicans and the president himself.

I knew they would call her out of touch (again). They would say she’s just making excuses (again). They would talk about her emails (again). They would say the DNC rigged the primary (again). They would make jokes like “it’s pretty clear to the President what happened” and “former FBI Director James Comey didn’t tell Hillary not to go to Wisconsin.”

And they did it all.

I haven’t laughed once.
