Hillary's Ghost .

Hillary Clinton's frustration on why she
"really" lost is beyond
current conspiracy theories .

Hillary R Clinton's   memoir What Happened, (1)>>which examines her 2016 loss to President Trump. is a vary interesting book . Clinton might have become America’s first woman president, but she didn’t ,so we have another book .Her new  book  runs from the apathetic white lady voters to (2)>>Russian meddling theory to the inscrutable popularity of Donald Trump. When Clinton's focus turns to herself, however, she's light on culpability. (3)>>Mrs. Clinton has a long history or writing apologetic books . He last book Hard Choices was about Benghazi , the failed foreign American policy under President Obama. Living History a book that was published in 2003 reflected pretty much decrying the overly lengthy later treatments of relatively mundane events as First Lady, and criticizing the lack of candor in the sections covering controversial episodes, including those surrounding her husband and the Lewinsky scandal. These three books I have in my book collections . They sound so similar , its not about making any sense of the "why" but about the "hows" in Mrs. Clinton's  personal recollections. Don't get me wrong here . Hillary Clinton is a vary intelligent and shrewd woman.  In reality she became a epic fail in the political system having to lose the Presidency to two men who came out as the anti- establishment base . As an example of why it’s interesting,  in both cases consider the opening scenes she had to endure , about how Clinton dealt losing twice with the inauguration ceremony in which she might have expected to be sworn in herself, but instead sat there watching both Barrack Obama and  Donald Trump take the oath. She was seemed jinxed from the start when back in 2008 she was running against Obama in a vary nasty campaign . After watching the debate between her and Obama it really sank into me that Hillary had a over confidence dilemma . While she was drilling the unexperienced Obama in a debate regarding healthcare reform in 2008 , Hillary threw some punches , she was incredibly more versed on the subject than Obama was . So how could such a intelligent woman have  lost ? TWICE !? 

Why Hillary Lost to Obama.2008 AD.

What made Obama politically
smart is that he was able
to take his opponents
Like Mrs. Clinton , turn
her into  a supporter .  

Back when Sen. Hillary Clinton was just starting her campaign, top aides and advisers had a ready answer when asked if she could win the presidency."She's already winning," came the response, as repeated by chief strategist Mark Penn, campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe and other top aides and advisers, in memos, press releases and interviews as the campaign began in 2007.Obama's change message was far superior in 2008 to Hillary's experience message. With a majority of Americans telling pollsters the country is on the wrong track, Obama faced a danger, fueled by Hillary's gibes, that his change message would be too vague and rhetorical. But the combination of wonky policy speeches in early 2007 and a well-designed Web site that proved he was substantive helped him put meat on the strong bones of his themes.Much of the bombastic campaign rhetoric from 2008 — think “3 a.m. call” — proved as ephemeral as the thousands of half-melted “Hillary” candy bars Clinton’s staff handed out on Super Tuesday ,‘08 shots at Obama have had resonance far beyond the short shelf life of the standard campaign hit parade: her mockery of his vow to transform Washington in his own image, her cry of “elitism” and her skepticism about his managerial chops echo today in the form of GOP attacks and the lingering doubts of some in his own party.Clinton’s campaign attacks on Obama may have been an exaggerated version of reality, but in retrospect they were illuminating, in the way a hand grenade provides a flash of light before going boom.on Feb. 24, 2008, that represented her most stinging attack on Obama’s core hope-and-change message.“I could stand up here and say: let’s just get everybody together, let’s get unified,” Clinton said, voice dripping with contempt long since discarded. (4)>>“The sky will open, the light will come down, celestial choirs will be singing, and everyone will know that we should do the right thing, and the world would be perfect,” Clinton added. “Maybe I’ve just lived a little long, but I have no illusions about how hard this will be. You are not going to wave a magic wand…” From that moment on she lost to Barrack Obama.

"  BACK  UP YOU CREEP"

"'This is not OK,'" she recalled thinking in What Happened, set to come out Sept. 12. "Two days before, the world heard him brag about groping women. Now, we were on a small stage and no matter where I walked, he followed me closely, staring at me, making faces. It was incredibly uncomfortable. He was literally breathing down my neck. My skin crawled."

Here’s a partial transcript of the debate anecdote:

“This is not ok, I thought. It was the second presidential debate and Donald Trump was looming behind me. Two days before, the world heard him brag about groping women. Now we were on a small stage and no matter where I walked he followed me closely, staring at me, making faces. It was incredibly uncomfortable. He was literally breathing down my neck. My skin crawled. It was one of those moments where you wish you could hit pause, and ask everyone watching, “Well, what would you do?” Do you stay calm, keep smiling and carry on as if he weren’t repeatedly invading your space? Or do you turn, look him in the eye and say loudly and clearly, “Back up, you creep. Get away from me. I know you love to intimidate women but you can’t intimidate me. So back up.” I chose Option A. I kept my cool, aided by a lifetime of dealing with difficult men trying to throw me off. I did, however, grip the microphone extra hard.”

On Wednesday, as in the aftermath of the debate, social media exploded with reaction to the former Secretary of State's disclosures, but almost all of it was informed by users' party affiliation. Democrats who voted for Clinton championed her, while Trump supporters seized on what they saw as hypocrisy from a sex scandal-plagued Clinton presidency. The people did hear Hillary's plans and rejected them. Many, if not most, Trump voters don't like the guy. However, they reasoned that the alternative was even worse. Clinton looked more dominant than she had even in 2008 — her poll numbers were higher, her challengers weaker, her endorsements more impressive. Liberals, chastened by the disappointments of the Obama years, seemed to recognize Clinton's prescience. The GOP faced almost a Apocalypse. Till they pulled one of the greatest bloddless (5)>> coup d'état in American political history. Collusion was in their mist , they sized power on a alt-right wing platfourm that they were planning in 8 years of Obama .   In last fall's election, no matter which candidate won, the American people lost.

NOTES AND COMMENTS:

Hillary won the popular vote
in 2008 , but lost to
Obama .

(1)>>which examines her 2016 loss to President Trump.  I was "flabbergasted" when I watched Hillary Clinton lose to Donald J Trump . I saw the early polls on TV as votes were being counted , she was behind , way behind . Though the election of 2016 was fishy, troubling . Considering Trump's rather disturbing background , Hillary should have won , she beat Trump during the TV debates . Hillary was more articulate than Trump , Trump threating to send Hillary to Jail was a give away besides calling on Russia to hack her e-mails was a red flag to the voters ??  I don't think the voters knew what they were getting. Based on what we know now{ gutting the Russian meddling theory} . The 2016 presidential election is likely to share a lasting twilight-zone quality with the election of 2000. Each led to an unfortunate result, by my lights—the election of George W. Bush in one case, of Donald Trump in the other—through what was, by anyone’s lights, the interaction of a thousand factors whose relative impacts no one will ever be able to separate. So many things “made the difference” in each race that we’ll never know which specific one was most important or consequential. In each case, the loser of the popular vote ended up in the White House—something that seemed a mainly theoretical twist back before Bush v. Gore, since no living American had experienced it.       (2)>>Russian meddling theory.      This is, to put it lightly, crazy.  BLAMING the RUSSIANS is sinister in many ways . I don't believe it , first YOU have to think that if the Russians helped trump win in any way , its extremely hurtful to the Republican party . It puts the Republican GOP establishment in collusion as well . Yes, MAYBE the GOP did rig the election to have Trump win the nomination is MY SUSPICION. But as I said before Trump can't escape his Russia business dealings . I think they will hurt him .  The most amazing thing is that a Clinton campaign official essentially spells out why it’s nuts to Axios Presented By LexCorp, but doesn’t quite piece it together.“The White House was like everyone else: They thought she’d win anyway. ... If he had done more, it might have lessened a lot of aggrieved feelings, although I don’t think it would have altered the outcome. The Russia thing was like a spy novel, and anything he said or did would have helped get people to believe it was real.” (3)>>Mrs. Clinton has a long history or writing apologetic books . Her two books.  Hard  Choices , Living History are more about explaining , apologies to the American public . One of best , long lasting books was the 1996 "It Takes a Village" which redefined the American educational system . To this day it still influences public schools way beyond NCLB / Common Core . Its concept was to introduce US public schools to a global community as one world . (4)>>“The sky will open, the light will come down" .  See this video :   http://bit.ly/2kcM89b . Any body remember this one ? A day after Hillary Clinton angrily called on Barack Obama to stop mailing campaign literature she said misrepresented her positions, the New York senator adopted a more sarcastic tone toward her rival on a campaign swing through Rhode Island Sunday.If Obama was surprised by his presidency's failure to change the tenor of American politics, Clinton probably wasn't. She had always been clear that Obamaism was, in her view, shot through with naiveté about the nature of both American politics and Republican opposition. (5)>> coup d'état . Technically any sudden, decisive political act but popularly restricted to the overthrow of a government.coup d'état in Culture. coup d'état [(kooh day-tah)] A quick and decisive seizure of governmental power by a strong military or political group.he phrase did not appear within an English text before the 19th century except when used in translation of a French source, there being no simple phrase in English to convey the contextualized idea of a "knockout blow to the existing administration within a state."
