In trying to reckon with her loss, Hillary Clinton doubles down on the same hollow rhetoric and questionable politics that contributed to it.
"I'm coming around to the idea that what we need more than anything at this moment in America is what you might call 'radical empathy.'"
Hillary Rodham Clinton, "What Happened"
I have empathy for Hillary Clinton. This is not because I agree with her politics, or because I like her at all, but because in an effort to be a kinder, more grown-up person, I try to have empathy for everyone. But because my empathy extends beyond Hillary Clintonto marginalized people from Little Rock to IraqI strongly dislike her, too. (Don't worry, I'm not a sexist: I hate both Clintons equally.)
It was in this state of intense ambivalence that I embarked on the unenviable task of reading and digesting Clinton's 469-page tome What Happened over a 48-hour period. It was a much more emotional experience than I expected (though that may have had something to do with the fact that, due to poor planning, I got an I.U.D. placed at the beginning of this literary gauntlet).

“Why do we need to know that the author had an IUD implanted prior to reading Hillarys book? Just wow....”
In Freud’s world that might be called a projection . . . hope you aren’t eating breakfast while I write this . . .
Actually, what better birth control device is there than a visible Hillary IUD?
I agree!
I was reading how Hollyweird completely destroyed Hillary during the 2017 Emmys award show.
....oh wait
The liberals will do EVERYTHING possible to make absolutely sure a conservative woman NEVER becomes president. They will start a civil war to protect abortion.
“I have empathy for Hillary Clinton.”
Probably has empathy for ISIS and antifa too.
I've long admired her charming cackle, her obvious intelligence, and her steely, imposing presence, and wished she'd deploy them in favor of good
She says the above in the 2nd to last sentence + it still stuns me that people think Hellary is 'Smart'. She's so far from it that it is beyond laughable. Knowing you can break any law and not go to jail is not being Smart, as Hellary believes, that's just plain old Arrogance.
