Might be worth a read, with a nice glass of merlot. A merlot sweetened with the tears of the progressives.

Around 7:45 on election night, when Hillary Clinton and her aides still thought they were headed to the White House, troubling news emerged from Florida. Steve Schale, the best vote-counter the Democrats had in the state, told campaign officials they were going to lose the biggest battleground in the country. Yes, Clinton was doing well in some places, but Donald Trump’s numbers in Republican areas were inconceivably big.
“You’re going to come up short,” Schale said, stunning aides in Brooklyn who were, until that moment, comfortably cradled in the security of their own faulty analytics.
The call with Schale marks the beginning of a riveting account of the final, dreadful hours of Clinton’s long pursuit of the presidency, as told by reporters Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes in their insidery new book, "Shattered."

  3. More attempts to tell us what we saw. I know Hillarious Clanktown lost and I believe I know why.
    I don't need 'talking heads' to interpret things for me. The implied assumption that we are too thick to understand what we are seeing; is insulting and quite, quite wrong.
    When the power elite started educating the serfs.(Nothing but trouble can come from that.) Educated people of both sexes found themselves aware, but stymied.
    Avoid adding to their coffers by NOT buying a book that is a contrived piece of trash.

  5. Uh, let's not give air to our own prejudices... this book is decidedly negative about HRC.
    We lose when we close our minds to knowledge.
