ANALYSIS/OPINION:

Hillary Clinton, of I Shouldve Won the White House! fame, apparently isnt content to deliver 10- and 20-second talking points from her national podium about the dang Russians who worked with President Donald Trump to give him that presidential title.

Shes gotta write a book about it, too.

Thats right. Clintons new book will reportedly double down on the Russian election interference angle as well as one that rings in former FBI chief James Comey as a heavy factor in her loss, too.

She just wants to get the story out, her friends privately say.

She really believes thats why she lost, and she wants to explain why in no uncertain terms, one of her political supporters told The Hill. She wants the whole story out there from her own perspective. I think a lot of people are going to be really surprised by how much she reveals.

Well, probably not not if the book focuses, as hinted, on the Russia-Trump election collusion message, or on the Comeys a Traitor rhetoric, either. America already knows these lines. And theyre boring.

Its too bad. Clintons missing an opportunity to write something actually interesting.

The Clintons have been in politics for a long, very long time. And theyve proven time and again a willingness to wheel and deal, to use political office for personal gain and to lie about it when it benefits. That means their friend list is long so too, their enemy list. If she would only dish, her book would probably be a bombshell.

But thats not the Hillary way. Shed rather throw a pity party.

On that, even Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer says its time to bury the hatchet.

When you lose to somebody who has 40 percent popularity, you dont blame other things Comey, Russia you blame yourself, Schumer said to The Washington Post, just recently.

Clintons failure is she cant.

And on that score, her book carries a larger message.

If Clintons memoirs are heavy on the same sort of finger-pointing weve already been treated to since November, itll be the mark of political death for her. Its bad enough Clintons rhetoric shows she cant move on from her loss. Putting it in writing, for all the world to see, and in a form thats as long as a book, will prove once and for all her resiliency to bounce back from adversity has been tapped.

Shell be remembered not only for her failed political career, but also for her book-length whine about why she was screwed.

Hillary Rodham Clinton hasnt shied away from the public stage in the months since her defeat in the 2016 election. Shes been giving speeches, sitting on panels, going to the theater, and taking selfies with supporters, and this fall, shell be publishing a book that promises to be her most personal memoir yet, according to her publisher, Simon & Schuster.

The book, titled What Happened, will offer an intimate view of what it was like for Mrs. Clinton to run as the first female presidential candidate from a major party in United States history, in an often vicious and turbulent campaign.

Ms. Clinton will explore the mistakes she made, what it was like to run against Donald J. Trump, the difficulties she has faced as a woman in politics, the role that Russian hacking played in the election, and how she recovered from the humiliating loss, according to a description of the book released by Simon & Schuster.

Most of all, though, the book will give insight into what she was thinking and feeling during one of the most dramatic campaigns in modern American history.

In the past, for reasons I try to explain, Ive often felt I had to be careful in public, like I was up on a wire without a net, Mrs. Clinton writes in the books introduction. Now Im letting my guard down.

What Happened is due out on Sept. 12.

Two-time presidential loser Hillary Clinton should stay in her woods. But instead of accepting her latest election defeat gracefully, shes writing another book due out in September.

Doesnt she realize, hardly anyone read her last one?

No matter. In her soon-to-be-released tome shes putting the finishing touches on this summer, Clinton is reportedly doubling down on the false narrative that Russia and former FBI Director James Comey stole the 2016 election from her.

This is a Hard Choice between sad and delusional to borrow from the title of her last book.

Zero evidence has been presented to date by any U.S. intelligence agencies or polling facilities that Russia hacked or manipulated ballots. In fact, in many polling stations throughout the nation, offline voting is impossible to hack. And as Clinton herself has been quick to add, she beat Trump in the popular vote. So scratch that non-starter.

Russia didnt design our electoral system our Founding Fathers did. Putin didnt tell Clinton not to campaign in critical swing states or advise her to alienate half the nation by calling hardworking, patriotic voters a basket of deplorables.

Clinton did that all by herself.

Add to it the fact that Clinton wasnt trusted by the majority of voters on both sides of the aisle. Countless polls taken throughout the campaign revealed even Democrats trusted socialist Bernie Sanders more than the Democratic front-runner who was embroiled in one scandal after another. From the shady money coming into her family foundation, to the mishandling of classified information in a private email server jeopardizing Americas national security, to the eyebrow-raising Russia-uranium deal she orchestrated while secretary of state, and other pay-to-play activities that were at minimum slimy.

Then theres Comey. Instead of blaming him for her self-inflicted election loss, she should be thanking the former FBI director for not swapping her trademark yellow pantsuit for an orange jumpsuit.

Clearly between deleting tens of thousands of emails, wiping servers and smashing devices with a hammer there was plenty of evidence discovered by the FBIs investigation to bring charges. Attacking the notoriously thin-skinned Comey who will get hauled in to testify against her if the email investigation is reopened is a colossally dumb move.

Add it up and Clinton should quit pushing false narratives in books and beyond, quit the anti-Trump Resistance and thank her lucky stars shes not in the slammer.

Voters were smart to steer clear of Clinton. She continues to demonstrate bad judgement. She should continue, in her Westchester woods, to take a hike.

New York: Defeated Democratic White House hopeful Hillary Clinton promises to let her guard down and explain what happened in her shock electoral defeat to Donald Trump, including the mistakes she made, in a book to be published in September.

Publishers Simon and Schuster revealed on Wednesday that the previously unnamed tome would be entitled "What Happened" and would be the former secretary of state's "most personal memoir yet."

"In the past, for reasons I try to explain, I've often felt I had to be careful in public, like I was up on a wire without a net. Now I'm letting my guard down", writes Clinton in the introduction.

Her publishers said the book would reveal what Clinton thought and felt during the bruising 2016 campaign that saw her make history as the first US woman to win the presidential nomination from a major party.

It will describe "what it was like" to run against Trump, "the mistakes she made, how she has coped with a shocking and devastating loss, and how she found the strength to pick herself back up", they said in an announcement ahead of the 12 September release date.

Clinton would take the reader "inside the intense personal experience" of an election "marked by rage, sexism, exhilarating highs and infuriating lows, stranger-than-fiction twists, Russian interference, and an opponent who broke all the rules", Simon and Schuster added.

The tome will also see Clinton double down on her belief that Russian interference cost her the White House.

Clinton has repeatedly blamed her loss on Russian cyberattacks and has alleged that associates of Trump likely had a hand in the effort.

She also says then-FBI director James Comey dealt her campaign a severe blow when just days before the November election he briefly revisited an inquiry into the scandal over her use of private email while at the State Department.

"Hillary shows just how dangerous the forces are that shaped the outcome, and why Americans need to understand them to protect our values and our democracy in the future", Simon and Schuster said.

Clinton is the author of five previous books, most recently "Hard Choices" published in 2014, as well as "An Invitation to the White House" and "It Takes a Village," all published by Simon and Schuster.

Clinton also touches on what she was thinking and feeling as she became the first female presidential nominee of a major U.S. political party, the release said.

The memoir is also billed as a cautionary tale, about the adversarial forces that might have had a hand in the stranger-than-fiction election.

The first book of Clintons career, It Takes a Village, was released in 1995 when she was first lady.

Since then, Clinton has published "Dear Socks, Dear Buddy," in 1998, sharing letters from children to the first family's pets, the best-selling memoirs "Living History," and "Hard Choices," about her years as secretary of state during President Barack Obama's first term.

In February, Clinton said she was working with Marla Frazee, a two-time Caldecott finalist for the year's outstanding picture book, to re-release It Takes a Village as an illustrated book.

What Happened, is being published by Simon & Schuster. It will be released on Sept. 12, the Associated Press said.
