| Balrog0 09/13/17 11:18:27 AM #48 | yeesh Clinton’s Midwest strategy. In the book, Clinton says her campaign did not underinvest in the Midwest. natesilver: So, I don’t totally buy that claim. Clinton definitely did underinvest in Michigan and Wisconsin (and Minnesota). micah: Here’s the quote: Some critics have said that everything hinged on me not campaigning enough in the Midwest. And I suppose it is possible that a few more trips to Saginaw or a few more ads on the air in Waukesha could have tipped a couple of thousand voters here or there.But let’s set the record straight: we always knew that the industrial Midwest was crucial to our success, just as it had been for Democrats for decades, and contrary to the popular narrative, we didn’t ignore those states. --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. |

Does it turn into something meaningful later in the article, or is it more bullshit like that? I think it's pretty good, but I like these journalists and I didn't think that was ridiculous. actually, they say something later along these lines that I think is much worse*, so you'll probably hate it *this exchange: clare.malone: And that’s just because of years in the public eye, often not being viewed favorably — and, again, this is where you have to factor in some sexist societal views. But many critiques of her history in public life were also valid. We’re parsing here, I would note. I rate the emails as highly influential. natesilver: Clinton has been viewed favorably at several points in her career. But usually they were points at which she didn’t threaten a man’s job or wasn’t otherwise being too ambitious. pretty stupid, the times she's been popular have also been when the president she's married to or serving under is popular --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. |

| Balrog0 09/12/17 4:09:46 PM #9 | https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/sep/12/hillary-clintons-book-what-happened-clear-message Unfortunately, her new book is less an effort to explain than it is to explain away. No real blame ever settles anywhere near Clinton’s person. And while she wrestles gamely with the larger historical question of why the party of the people has withered as inequality grows, she never offers a satisfying answer. Instead, most of the blame is directed outward, at familiar suspects like James Comey, the Russians and the media. Still, by exercising a little discernment, readers can find clues to the mystery of 2016 here and there among the clouds of blame-evasion and positive thinking. Start at the beginning: why did Hillary Clinton run for president? “[B]ecause I thought I’d be good at the job,” she writes. Then, 13 pages later: “It was a chance to do the most good I would ever be able to do.” A would-be do-gooder needs problems to solve, of course, and so Clinton says she turned next to the people who knew what was wrong. “I started calling policy experts,” she writes, “reading thick binders of memos, and making lists of problems that needed more thought.” Lists of problems and solutions are everywhere; reeling them off one after another is one of her favorite rhetorical devices, her way of checking the boxes and letting everyone know that she cares. --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. |

| Balrog0 09/12/17 3:48:45 PM #1 | “What Happened” is not one book, but many. It is a candid and blackly funny account of her mood in the direct aftermath of losing to Donald J. Trump. It is a post-mortem, in which she is both coroner and corpse. It is a feminist manifesto. It is a score-settling jubilee. It is a rant against James B. Comey, Bernie Sanders, the media, James B. Comey, Vladimir Putin and James B. Comey. It is a primer on Russian spying. It is a thumping of Trump. (“I sometimes wonder: If you add together his time spent on golf, Twitter and cable news,” she writes, “what’s left?”) this doesn't sound even a little like that! but I do want to read it --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. |
