1. Chicago is the nearest to me.

[Chasstev365]

2. Oh, goodie!

[niyad]

3. alas, nowhere near me. but kudos to Madam President for this tour!

and a great big FU to those saying she should just step away and shut up.

4. It might just be me, but...

... I'm pretty much tired of the excuses for the last election.

Perhaps more time spent in quiet, personal introspection, Hillary? Less time blaming everyone else?

Because if what I read (page excerpts blaming Sanders) just now on Yahoo news is any indication, it's another opportunity to read the same thing as we've heard a thousand times already... but in a hardback edition. $30 per opportunity.

12. She has been doing that since the election.

She can write a book. She can tour. She can do anything she damn well wants.

If it bothers you, don't buy the book.

p.s. Sanders deserves his share of the blame.

5. Stevenson, Gore, and HRC would have made great Presidents

but they lacked that macho male swagger that attracts ignorant voters like flies

Policy wonks can't win elections

[sandensea]

6. And of course Hubert Humphrey

who had the added distinction of being the first candidate cheated out of winning by GOP figures who actually belonged in jail.

[bucolic_frolic]

7. Yeah, that's true

Hubert fits that category too, perhaps even Mondale

Why can't we kick it up a notch when the million vote hour is near?

[sandensea]

10. The problem these days is that Republicans are resorting to outright cheating.

Gone are the days of mere intrigue and ratfucking. They've gone full Marcos on us.

[George II]

9. Clinton "lacked that macho male swagger"? Excuse me?

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Are you saying she didn't lack it? She did have it?

Oh, my!

Actually she couldn't have it, obviously. There is just a gutsy, throaty, male dominance in U.S. politics.

If you can't bludgeon your opponent with it, you lack a basic tool. Sometimes the VP as attack dog is a suitable substitute.

Eisenhower had it, Nixon had it, Reagan did to some extent, as did the Bushes.

Trump was not logical at times, but he always cast himself as top dog and knowing all about everything. People bought it.

[George II]

8. She will be appearing at Riverside Church in Manhattan on Thursday. Although they will....

....be taking orders for the book, this is NOT a stop on a book tour. Her event is a fundraiser for Olmsted Camp in Westchester about 30 miles north of NYC. The camp benefits local NYC children who otherwise would not be able to attend summer camp.

Tickets are $75 and ALL proceeds will be donated to the camp! A very refreshing change from being a simple book tour.

13. Just a reminder:

Bernie has been on two book tours. If anyone is begrudging our nominee and this loyal Democrat ONE book tour, they deserve a big LOL.

14. I Wonder

Does she express in the book why she lost swing States like Ohio, Michigan, Penn, etc to Trump? Does she address why Trump won in those States? How does she explain Trump's popularity amongst a certain segment of the voting population?

It was a close race. I do wish that she had poured more resources in those areas. We might have had President Clinton at this point if certain things were different.

Anyway, I do not begrudge Hillary writing a book and doing a tour. I also wonder if she addresses who the Party Leadership should be at this point, and what tactics/strategies they should use to fight Trump?
