Diminishing Returns: Hillary Clinton's Second Angsty Screed About 2016 Loss Sells Way Fewer Copies Than the First
Washington Free Beacon. ^ | October 9, 2024 | Andrew Stiles

Maybe now she'll finally go away (or at least accept the fact that no one cares)...

Hillary Clinton can't catch a break, the poor thing. It's been almost eight years since the hot-sauce-in-the-purse lady hosted a "victory" party under a giant glass ceiling and primed confetti cannons to blast out shards of symbolism to celebrate her historic election as president. Instead we got her longtime goon John Podesta fighting back tears and telling everyone to go home for the night.

As a consolation prize, the powers that be touted the hell out of the memoir Hillary wrote after that disastrous and terribly funny occasion. Her publisher bragged rather pathetically that the 2017 book, What Happened, sold more copies in its first week (167,000) than any "hardcover nonfiction title published since 2012." Knowing the Clintons, there were presumably a lot of shady Democratic donors with warehouses full of those books, at least until they could sell them at a modest discount to some third-world orphanage.

Hillary has just written another memoir about how unfair it was that she lost to Donald Trump and why you still owe her an apology for being right about everything. Released last month, Something Lost, Something Gained: Lessons on Life, Love, and Liberty is a tedious slog through familiar grievances and blatant lies about her "thicker skin" and "stiffer spine." She lauds herself as "the first woman to win a presidential primary, the nomination of a major party, and the national popular vote." She remembers the good times when she "flew on Air Force One, dined with kings and queens, and was constantly surrounded by armed guards." She refuses to go away or accept the fact that no one cares.

You probably won't be surprised to learn that sales of her second angsty screed about losing the 2016 election are much lower this time around. Something Lost, Something Gained sold just 27,000 copies in its first week, according to an industry source. That's less than 20 percent of her "record-breaking" haul during the Trump administration, when trauma-brained MSNBC viewers were particularly ravenous for #Resistance slop. That's still an alarming number of copies—more than eight times the week-one sales for Extremely Online (2023), the fawning history of teen influencers by disgraced reporter Taylor Lorenz. But the trend line is promising.

If you are touting the fact that you won the popular vote, it only means that you did not read the rules of the game very carefully.

The next time I hear about Hitlery, I hope it’s news about her arrest and indictment!

The only Hillary Clinton book that I’d read is if she does a tell all and finally comes clean about her knock-down, drag-out fights with Bill and how she went on a drunken crying jag after she lost the 2016 election and couldn’t come to the cameras to concede.

My advice to Hillary: Entitle your next book “People I Have Killed”.

Trust me, girl. If you write truthfully, it will be a best seller.

I hope she lives another 20 years. Every day is a living hell for her.

I want to see a video or a book of her headquarters, election night 2016.

"...confetti cannons to blast out shards of symbolism to celebrate her historic election as president..." I heard that it took the hotel staff two days to clean up the glass shards of broken anything-not-bolted-down in her hotel room.

Yep, I kept waiting for that all of Trump's first term. Shame it didn't happen.

Well, not exactly “nobody.” Apparently, 27,000 other old evil commie hags do.

The Clintons are already irrelevant and I expect in the not too distant future Bill will drop dead between the thighs of some floozy and Hillary will be babbling in a nursing home.

I wish there was a tell-all book about her election night tirade

She lauds herself as "the first woman to win a presidential primary, the nomination of a major party, and the national popular vote."

What's missing in that list? Oh, I know, it's "first woman President". She's been stewing in a kettle of her own bile ever since. It was inevitable, you see, fated from her birth, locked in concrete, hers by right! My Turn Now! Glass ceiling shattered!

I hope she got ripped off for the fireworks, too. Wiping the smirk off her arrogant face was a truly beautiful thing.

When we get older, it’s natural to have some regrets about things one should have done or could have done more of. I know it just eats at Hillary when she saw how Slow Joe was able to steal the election without really trying. I’m sure she goes to bed each night and gets up each morning with the thought, “If I would have cheated like Joe I could have been President”.

She still can’t figure how why she’s not 50 points ahead.
