Patterson is about selling books. I do not trust him, he puts out crap. That said, this is publicity, and he could theoretically ride Clinton all the way to the bottom and make money doing it.
Just how many of his books have you read? They are excellent. Just because one doesn’t like his politics doesn’t make his work crap. He writes excellent mysteries. He is only the all-time best selling author. I read The President is Missing. It’s a very good book. I, however, doubt Clinton wrote a single word of it. He probably only advised on presidential authority, CIA, NSA, esc.
I don’t care for his politics either, but can give credit where credit is due. Something some people on here are incapable of if anyone disagrees with them. And before you attack me as a liberal, I am as conservative as they come.
