Even the BBC is poking fun at her.
The beauty of Hillary Clinton’s new book title, What Happened, is it can be interpreted in so many ways.
Perhaps it’s a definitive account of the 2016 presidential election. “Here’s what happened”.
Maybe it’s an exclamation, like someone reacting to an unexpectedly loud noise (or an electoral earthquake). “Yikes! What happened!?”
Then again, it could be a stern mom, who just walked in on the mess her children (the voters) made in the living room. “Whaaaaat happened …”
Or is she the dazed boxer, picking herself up off the canvas after getting knocked out by a surprise punch from her opponent.
“Wha-, wha-, what happened???”
It’s up to readers to decide for themselves, but in Mrs Clinton’s recent interviews and in her book, which was formally released on Tuesday, she offers plenty of explanations from which to choose.
Here’s a list of just some of the factors to blame for the fact that she’s hitting book stores across the country, while Donald Trump is redecorating the Oval Office.
Hint: it’s a looooooooong list.
What I find interesting is the media coverage of Clinton’s book tour. After all, it is a tour by a failed politician trying to sell her book. And yet, she is getting daily headline coverage from almost every media outlet in the nation. I think they are fare ore interested in Hillary’s post-defeat soul searching than we are.
All of her, and the media’s, explanations rest on the presumption that she could have won. It is entirely possible that Clinton was disliked by so many people that a bowl of hot steaming mayonnaise would have defeated her.
Yet more people voted for her than for Trump.
