Hillary and Warren are Crushing The Right In Book Sales
It's been two weeks since former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's Hard Choices hit the shelves, and she's already getting hit for a "disappointing" rollout. Critics say her book is "bombing" and sales are "tanking," news outlets and conservative blogs report.
But sales figures for Hard Choices, compared with sales of books penned by potential Republican presidential hopefuls, tell a different story. According to Nielsen BookScan data, Clinton has sold almost 135,000 copies of her new memoir.
Meanwhile, Republicans who have similarly aimed to boost their profile with a book -- Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.), former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Rep. Paul Ryan (Wis.), Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee -- have paled in comparison. In fact, Clinton's two weeks of sales top the total sales to date of books by Paul, Rubio, Bush, Ryan, Walker and Huckabee -- combined.
More at the link, which is, btw, Dredge. That means the panicky RWs can't whine about the source.
Thing is, political books are notoriously poor sellers but its interesting that so many more people want to read what Secty Clinton and Sen. Warren have to say.
Next thing you know, we'll be calling them prez and/or veep.
Oh yeah, and $arah's books didn't even make the count cuz they went straight to the remainder table.
A thread like this was already done... Ron Paul alone beats Hillary.... Ron fucking Paul.
