Hillary's 'Hard Choices' Plunges Below Amazon Top 100 Less Than Month After Release
NewsBusters ^ | July 9, 2014 | P.J. Gladnick

Less than a month after its official release date of June 10, Hillary Clinton's book, "Hard Choices," has today plunged below the Amazon Top 100 list to a humbling #102 as of this writing. Over at Simon & Schuster, the book publisher who paid Hillary a big campaign contribution in the form of a whopping $14 million advance, there is now a lot of angry finger pointing according to the New York Post's Page Six.

Just as humbling is the news that Hillary's book has been replaced at the top of the New York Times Best Seller list by Edward Klein's "Blood Feud" which is highly critical of her. To make this a trifecta of bad news for her, comes a report on a new metric, the Hawking Index, which shows that the few people who actually attempt to read "Hard Choices," don't make it past page 33. First let us look at the upset executives at Simon & Schuster as reported by Page Six:

Is Hillary’s book behind that book somebody wrote, about how to give your body a “green” cleansing???? Something symbolic about a book about colon cleansing outselling Hillary’s book.

I believe this is proof that liberals don’t read. They prefer to stay ignorant.

Does this mean we will soon be able to get Hillary’s book off the sale/closeout rack? Will it be at the 99 cent store?

Which tells me that a sizable portion of those first week sales were bulk purchases by Clinton operatives.

I’ve heard that liberals don’t read books as much as conservatives. Maybe that contributes to Hillary’s poor book sales????

I saw a number of Hillary’s interviews on her book tour. Did she ever mention even one “hard choice” she had to make in public life, or as secretary of state??? I heard her say that life presents us with hard choices but I don’t think she ever mentioned a single hard choice she had to make.

The majority of the books sold were at signings by Slick Willie’s wife. Those books can now be found on ebay.

But, are these people who got Hillary’s book signed, to sell on EBay, going to make a profit? Is there a big market for a signed copy of Hillary’s book????? Just wondering.........

Propaganda, lies and distortions never sell well. And embellish that with the Clinton history, well, need say no more.

They will soon be offered at 2 for $1.00 in the dollar stores with no takers.

She should have had it printed on phone book paper.

At least then it could be used for butt wipe after the democrat caused O’pocalypse.

Apparently, book buyers aren’t having a hard choice.

After all the institutional buying by Dems and other allied organizations, there is no one out there to buy it. The publisher will happily lose money to support the next President of the United States. In fact, the advance is just a political contribution without the limits or reporting requirements.
