What Happened by Hillary Clinton

Method of Disposal: Gave to a Friend
This book was a hard one. It was painful to relive the 2016 election and everything that led up to it and after it, but that is what reading this book asks you to do ultimately. I wish I had read it when I first got it instead of waiting. Reading it just reminded me constantly of how much better the world might be today if more people voted, if Russia had not got involved, if the electoral college did not over rule the popular vote, if Comey had not ambushed Clinton, if there had not been a massive anti-Hillary campaign spanning back to the 1990's. This woman has been drug through the mud, the shit, the vomit. She's been wrung out and hung out, and yet she never stops fighting. All that fight and all that experience could have led us in a very different direction that the course we are on now. Please, God, let us make it to the next presidential election. Don't let it be too late and please oh please don't let it be rigged. I cannot cry or worry anymore, and I know I am not the only one. It must be impossibly hard to go from thinking you will be the first woman president of the United States to watching a sexually assaulting, exploitative, sociopath move into the White House instead. I cannot imagine a dream dying that hard. I am just so relieved she is doing what she does best--fighting through the shit and holding herself up as an example to all women.
