The frosty reception given to Verrit and What Happened brought out an even stranger species of diehard Clintonite: seemingly ordinary people who simply project their own feelings of bitterness and quasi-feminist entitlement onto Hillary’s career. They popped up in 2008 as “PUMAs” — short for “Party Unity My Ass” — fanatical Clinton supporters, mostly older white women, who were so upset at Obama’s primary victory that they voted for McCain in the general. (25 percent of her 2008 primary voters crossed over.) PUMAs’ modern equivalents swarmed the political journalists who voiced legitimate concerns about the timing and purpose of Verrit and Clinton’s book tour. When Vox’s Dylan Scott tweeted “has anybody teased out what exactly Clinton is trying to accomplish with this book?” more than 1,000 replies poured in, accusing him of misogyny and demanding to know why he didn’t question the timing of Bernie Sanders’ book last November, prompting a sheepish response: “I clearly didn't know what I was getting into.” Few attempted to answer his question. Bloomberg’s Sahil Kapur tweeted that, with What Happened, “ re-opening a painful wound for Ds at a crucial time.” The replies to this also exceeded 1,000, and they were even more spiteful: “So what. Not her problem how scared little white males react.” “So she's supposed to just go away? 66 million of us think she was ROBBED!!! SHE IS NOT GOING AWAY!! GET USED TO IT!!!”

Hillary's candor, insight, and strength come through very clearly. She was, and still is, the best qualified applicant for the job of President, and she proves it time and again in this book.
It was disheartening, to say the least, to watch as normally sane people I know and love swallowed enormous lies about her during the campaign and turned a deaf ear to repeated pleas on my part to check their sources, to rely on facts not fictions. To no avail.
It took a while for me to realize it was grief I was feeling about how the election turned out. Finally facing that helped. And when I confessed it somewhat apologetically to our son, he immediately agreed, Hillary losing "was just wrong," he said. "Just wrong."
I still urge Hillary's detractors to check the facts, do the homework, do the research.

Yeah doesn't John Kerry have pretty much the same resume? Hell Al Gore and Joe Biden are both far more experienced.
Trump often campaigned on running the country like a business but it wasn't that much different from Dems who see elections as job applications. Whoever has the most points on their resume and the least divisive platitudes should get the position. It's sinister how many spheres of our lives this sort of job application mindset is spreading to--education is an obvious one, but OkCupid and other dating sites are essentially glorified relationship resumes at this point.

Yeah. Sam Kriss quote tweeted it and it turns out he commands a Legion of Bellends. They acclaim him as their king.
