"Former president Bill Clinton, surveying the landscape and the ham-handed efforts at identity politics, was bereft, lamenting to a longtime friend in the fall of 2016 that Hillary's campaign 'could not sell p**** on a troop train,'" Grim wrote.

Hillary Clinton's ineffective campaign messaging was one of several things blamed on her upset loss to Republican Donald Trump in the 2016 election. Her husband, who was elected to two terms as president, was reportedly frustrated with the campaign's lack of reaching out to some suburban and rural areas that may not vote for Hillary Clinton, according to ABC News (https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/shattered-authors-bill-clinton-pushed-tone-hillarys-campaign/story?id=46974506).  ...

Yikes, who is this guy and how is he not in a parking lot at Fort Marcy Park? (Apparently, this was done in 2016, the year of her great triumph).

From the article…

The book mostly is about AOC, I guess, including her interactions with Pelosi. Article here: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/nov/30/squad-book-aoc-nancy-pelosi

Another one: Elizabeth Warren tried to convince AOC not to endorse Bernie Sanders in 2020 by compiling top Sanders backers' mean tweets: book (https://www.businessinsider.com/elizabeth-warren-aoc-bernie-sanders-mean-tweets-2020-primary-book-2023-12)

Hillary Clinton is a very unlikable human being.

No political campaign can save her from her own unlikability, no matter how inevitable her election is.

Elections are popularity contests, which is why canidates matter.

Bill was a majorly crooked person, but he was a good Politician because he knew how to bullshit people.  Hillary is the opposite, and refused to take any advice from Bill.
