Hillary's Newest Book Bombs

Perhaps bookstores should've shelved it under "Fiction."

Readers apparently are wearying of Hillary Clinton's lies and boring statist policy tracts, because her newest book is a certifiable flop by publishing industry standards, according to The New York Times.

Stronger Together sold only 2,912 copies in its first week of sales, according to Nielsen BookScan, which charts about 80 percent of nationwide physical book sales. By comparison, Clinton's 2014 memoir Hard Choices, which also didn't meet expectations, sold over 85,000 copies in its first week, and Clinton's 2003 memoir, Living History, sold six times as many copies as Hard Choices

The Week reports that Stronger Together is co-authored by Hill's running mate, Tim Kaine, and "presents [their] agenda in full, relating stories from the American people and outlining the Clinton/Kaine campaign's plans on everything from apprenticeships to the Zika virus," the Amazon description says. The New York Times describes it thusly:

Its roughly 250 pages intersperse bullet-point policy ideas, like “launch a national initiative for suicide prevention” and “humanely address the Central American migrant crisis,” with photographs of Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Kaine on the campaign trail, charts in the campaign’s signature chunky font and highlights from Mrs. Clinton’s speeches.

With a description like that, TruthRevolt is baffled that sales aren't soaring. And with complicit media outlets like the NY Times, we're baffled that the book didn't get listed among the NYT bestsellers regardless of sales. We're baffled that the Times even reported this. Don't they know Hillary doesn't like bad publicity? Don't they value their lives?

One Amazon reviewer remarked that Stronger Together was "far more interesting than I'd thought this book would be," which isn't exactly the most rousing of recommendations. The Hill website tried to come to the book's defense by noting that "most negative reviews were about the candidate, and not the book itself." Again, TruthRevolt is baffled by this. What's not to like about her? Hillary is so likeable, relatable, and human!

Campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri announced that to promote the book, Clinton will "do a series of Stronger Together speeches over the course of the next several weeks." How exciting! Perhaps the campaign should just go ahead now and buy up thousands of copies itself to boost sales.
