This wasn‘t an entirely flattering portrayal of Hillary, but I feel like I know her better. And respect her for what she has accomplished and where she fell short. I think the author feels the same. Made a great audiobook narrated by Amy!

In my review four days ago I said it would take a essay for me to explain my response to this book. Well, its now up. You can find it on my Goodreads review or on LibraryThing here: https://www.librarything.com/topic/288371 (go to the bottom of the page)

Enlightening but disconcerting. Clinton - the press -it‘s complicated but things just that aren‘t so pretty this close up. I really want to say more, but it will take an essay.

I‘ve been trying this out, about half way through. Has me depressed about the press and about HC. š

arubabookwoman I don‘t always agree with Hillary‘s politics (I‘m more progressive), but I‘ve never understood why so many seem to hate her and why she gets such negative press. I just read #WhatHappened and she seems like a genuinely nice person.

What Happened

Graywacke @arubabookwoman me too, but felt she was practical and capable. I was (and am) annoyed she wasn‘t a stronger candidate. I‘m learning here she was terrible at managing the press. 6y

RaimeyGallant @arubabookwoman Agreed. 6y

RaimeyGallant Yeah, but the real question for me is why she didn't recognize her own weaknesses and staff accordingly. 6y

Graywacke @RaimeyGallant it‘s a good question. I‘m thinking - handling public image isn‘t easy, if it doesn‘t come naturally. 6y

RaimeyGallant @Graywacke It's not just her campaign, but the whole tech side. Someone in all the years she was Sec of State, should have said, hey, these old email protocols aren't keeping up with the times. And once the email scandal broke, why did no one with tech savvy think to check state's policy???? 6y

Graywacke @RaimeyGallant emails, oye... 6y

Graywacke @RaimeyGallant my running theory is that the emails are irrelevant. She probably shouldn‘t have deleted stuff, she certainly should have been more secure, but regardless, it‘s small stuff. However, her failure to handle it with the press was serious and eventually a killer. It lingered as an issue until it made a difference. 6y

A really insightful and honest overview of this journalists experience following Hillary Clinton in her attempt to be the first woman president of the USA.

Listening to this on audible. Really enjoying. I love campaign books and this is a well written addition to the cannon. If you wonder how reporters manage the camp follower like existence at same time they are competing to the death for scoops and status, this is the book for you.
