I hate a lot of memoir titles, because most of them are either insipid or unmemorable. When you write a memoir, please don’t call it My Life or, A Life, or, like, your first name. Hillary Clinton has already written memoirs and books (Hard Choices, Living History), and it’s no surprise that she got another book deal to write about what happened during her last presidential campaign. And that’s what she’s calling it too: What Happened. No question mark, which I personally think it needs. What Happened? is better than WHAT HAPPENED. No question mark makes it seem like Hillary knows what happened and she’s just laying down some facts. It needs a question mark because we still don’t know the extent of what happened.
I hope she follows up What Happened with these books:
No Really, What the F–k Just Happened?
What the Hell
Huh, I Guess You Hate Women
Pantsuit Gangster
You Voted For a Monster
H Is For ‘Hold My Beer’
But Her Emails
STFU About My Hair
You’re All Idiots, I’m Going on Vacation
The book will be coming out in September, so just prepare yourself for a lot of rage-tweeting from Emperor Baby Fists as excerpts are released and she starts promoting the book. According to sources, HRC will talk about Russia’s meddling in the election and how James Comey screwed her over in the last weeks of the election. In the intro, HRC writes:
“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.”
According to Simon & Schuster, Clinton also addresses the “challenges of being a strong woman in the public eye, the criticism over her voice, age, and appearance, and the double standard confronting women in politics.”
I hope she goes IN. I hope she blankets the media too, because you know there will be so many angry dudes screaming about how she needs to just “go away” and “stop talking.” Never stop talking, Hillary. Keep fighting. Keep reminding people what they lost.

I will be so proud to carry this in public. That is all.
Me too! Can’t wait to read it. Love and admire her so much!
ME TOOOO!!!!
Never stop talking Hillary, never stop fighting!!!
I just pre-ordered mine on Amazon…

It’s already #1!!!
Can’t wait to read it
@Kaiser WTF definitely should have been the title. It captures the zeitgeist post-election.
I think actually WTF would have been a great title if you could have made it stand for something else that is a bit more classy.
LOL Kaiser! Not sure I’ll read this book but the follow up books sound like great reading material.
I know, I’m dying here. Love “Pantsuit Gangster.”
Persist
Alternate titles:
What the Shit
Screw You, I’m Going Home
Motherf–king Russians, I’ll Tell You
Edited to add:
Pantsuit Bae
I’m in love with Pantsuit Bae. 🙂
I Told You So
Dear Hillary, please do a forum at the JFK Library to promote this. Call Caroline, make it happen. Get someone cool to ask the questions
Damn, as much as I have issues with her policies, the whole election drama must have been crazymaking and infuriating (I TOLD YOU HE WAS NOT QUALIFIED AND WAS IN CAHOOTS WITH RUSSIA BUT DID YOU LISTEN TO ME?!?!).
Now there’s a great title!
That is my feeling too. I vary on her policies but how anyone thought she wouldn’t have made an effective president is beyond me. Issues can be worked through but this dumpster fire is insanity.
Me too. She’s not my favorite but OF COURSE i voted for her!
My choice:
‘I Won the EC Too’
Just to rub it in the Bros and Cult Followers face.
Perfect title!
A combination of Russian interference and racist idiots. That is what happened.
Pretty much. But there’s still voter suppression and third-party voters too (the latter aided by Russian interference). And sexism (both against her AND accepting of his actions against all women). The impact of racism and sexism remains underappreciated.
I also think the last minute surge was the NRA / evangelicals.
Ugh.
Is there a possibility that she could run in 2020?
I hope she doesn’t…we need someone new, young, fresh… hoping Kamala runs, she’s legit – I’ve “known” her for a while because my best friend was her campaign manager. Watching her speak made me tear up, I think she’d be a perfect first woman president (and hopefully a big f-u to Trump and his supporters)
I respect HRC enormously, but no just no to another presidential run.
I agree Mar_Time, we need new, dynamic leadership who can better articulate positive steps for the future of our country. And we need to be laser focused on 2018 elections to rebuild the DNC.
I’m hoping for Kamala also! Would love a Harris / Kennedy ticket (Joseph Kennedy III). I had my doubts about another Kennedy, but he’s the real deal.
I agree; I appreciate HRC and voted for her but it’s time for a new face and approach. HRC and her team didn’t seem to learn/adapt their strategy from their primary loss to Obama.
And for the person who suggested Joe Kennedy, totally agree. I do some lobbying and have met with him a few times. He’s one of the few that can actually have a discussion on pros/cons of issues, with a bipartisan perspective, without the usual “I’ll have my aide look into that.”
I don’t think so. I love HRC and happily voted for her. But sadly there are a lot of F*ckwits who hate her for made up reasons and they cannot let go.
I think younger members of the party need to build up their hype, Kamala Harris, Joe Kennedy III, Tammy Duckworth, and Chris Murphy among others
God, I hope not. It’s her arrogance, self righteousness, and greed that put me off. and it sure put a lot of other people off, as well.
Just like I wrote above, people dislike her for made up reasons. Because the orange blob of grossness that is currently in the White House embodies those negative qualities you listed far more than HRC and all other democrats combined.
No. She is a polarizing figure though most of it is sexist and right wing nuttiness. People who have met her said she is warm and funny but her campaign was unable to show that side of her and she is well liked but again they weren’t able to capitalize on that. She made some mistakes that could have been handled better and Bill did her no favors. However not one drawback of hers compares to Tangerine’s faults. Not even close. Not even in the same universe.
She’s tried twice. I think it’s time for her to give that up.
Well Ronald Regan ran for president three times before he finally got it, and nobody complained about that. I love Hillary and think she is incredibly intelligent, caring, funny, extremely respected around the world, and would be a fantastic president since she would get so much done to further advance the country in the right direction, but like others said, 30 years of made-up garbage to demonize her might be unstoppable at this point.
In my ideal scenario, Trump won 2016 but soon gets put in prison for collusion and or laundering Russian mob money, and all his assets are seized. He spends the rest of his life broke and humiliated in jail. Then Hillary wins in 2020 and we see what a real president looks like, and escape this alternate universe where nothing matters or makes sense anymore. Anyway, that’s just in my mind lol. But I would really love to see that.
She’s too old. Kamala all the way!
What about “F-ck You, You F-cking F-cks”
Winner!!
Whoever ends up writing the post-election tome on everything that went down, the title of that book should be “America: You broke it, you bought it.”
I can’t wait.
I cannot wait for this book! Hopefully by the time it comes out, Trump will be out of office. Hopefully they let him check it out of the prison library! 🙂
If he could read…
Spot on !
Nagini will read it for him using that silly baby voice.
What/who compelled Comey to screw her over?
I really had hoped she’d title her next book “Nasty Woman” or, “It’s Hillary, not Killary”.
But whatever. I just hope she doesn’t blame herself and apologize.
Aplogize? Hilary Clinton apologizes for NOTHING. She blames everything and anything else. I’m sure the “everything else” will be what this whole self aggrandizing book will be about.
Mmmhmm. Yeah.
Whatever happened I hope the Dems learnt from it and don’t continue to assume that they can screw people over because they’ve got ‘nowhere else to go’ But maybe they were right. Maybe people didn’t have anywhere else to go. That’s why 95 million Americans didn’t vote.
People tried to shut Hillary up for a very long time. I’m looking forward to the book and her touring around everywhere to talk about it. The louder the better imo. There’s a zillion “I told you so’s” she could speak about but probably won’t. The actions of p*ssygrabber and so-called president Trump speaks louder than words. Her only mistake was believing in the basic “goodness” of American voters in general, never thinking they could possibly go for a liar extraordinaire and male chauvinist pig who never apologizes for anything.
My birthday is in September and now what I’ll be requesting to the hubby for a present!
