Diminishing Returns: Hillary Clinton's Second Angsty Screed About 2016 Loss Sells Way Fewer Copies Than the First

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.

Ah, that invokes the nostalgia, seeing some Clinton Derangement Syndrome.

Cintn wn te popular vote. I'm sure if Tump had won the popular vote but Cllinton was put in due to electoral votes that we would have had an insurrection in 2017 and he would still be trying to appeal.

So perhaps we can get trump to go away too next month.

 

[shockedcanadian]

She will finally get her female president in Harris. Good times are ahead for the West, I can just feel it in my bones!

How many copies did you buy?

Why don't you and I get together and discuss this?

After witnessing the stolen 2020 election, it's a certainly Hillary did NOT win the popular vote.

The first one never really "sold" either. They were bought-up, hundreds of copies at a time, by various dem operative .orgs to launder money to her.

We know that the Clinton's are humble people. They were worth little in 1993. They paid a minimum of a few million dollars just on their daughter's wedding. Always remember. Socialists. Socialists for the commoner and top shelf for the elites.

I don't know why she needed a second book. The first one had several chapters devoted to blaming everyone else but her for her election loss.

There are still people who believe she lost because she was a terrible candidate. Once Premier Harris does away with the First Amendment and appoints Hillary to the Ministry of Truth, she'll make believing that illegal.

And now all the leftists here are all aroused.
