Out of curiosity... what do you think the book is likely to be about? I understand you're calling them out on speculating as if it were fact, but you're also not doing anything to argue that their claims aren't likely true based on everything else she's said about the election.

I've only read two excerpts from the book, both anecdotes about the frustrations of being a political being, both tackling it from different directions. Her joke about shooting varmits on a stage in Oklahoma is about the absurdity of transforming yourself to campaign on a democratic platform in a state like Oklahoma, literal pandering. The anecdote about the Bernie debate was about the frustration of having to play superego to the democratic id of Bernie's optimistic campaign promises.

Looking at those two stories I could assume that the whole book is full of stories like that, but I've literally seen less than one-percent of a several hundred page memoir, and any conclusions I could draw from such a small sample size would be ridiculous. I know that. I suspect most of us know that. And yet...

TLDR. I don't know. I haven't any information with which to speculate except perhaps the title, which just tells me that this is a book about the 2015-2016 election told from her perspective.


Nobody is claiming that you know or should know, but to be this silent about any potential, probable criticism until the book is out to me is just feeding into a bias. Even then, after this book is released, I'm anticipating some heavy rationalization or intentional understatement of the book's potential flaws from people like doom art.
