Reading list: Things aren't so great for Hillary right now

... "This was supposed to be a great month with the launch of her new biography “Hard Choices.” The book tour had her featured on every major television news and entertainment program in the country. Hillary’s face was popping up across the fruited plains from Albuquerque to Zanesville. Things were looking good for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 preview.
 
'But then the wheels came off.
 
"Here are the five horrible stories that slowed down the Clinton Express in the last few weeks:"   Read more. Here is just one sample of what you will read:

The American people seem tired. Tired of Obamas, Bushes and yes, Clintons. President Obama hit record lows in public opinion polls over the last week. 

Hot Air    "In the two weeks of Hillary Clinton’s re-entry in pop and political culture with her book tour, she has demonstrated a remarkable inability to connect with people, to communicate effectively, and to even comprehend the damage she’s doing to herself. Any other politician with this kind of fortnight would find it fortunate to be called a mediocrity. To make this point, let’s start with the contrarian view. Bloomberg’s Jonathan Bernstein wants to remind everyone of “Hillary’s Mad [Political] Skillz” today, but doesn’t exactly make a compelling case:" ...

 'Clinton: the Musical' comes to New York    “ 'It’s hard enough being president by yourself. Bill Clinton’s problem is that there are two of him. Literally,” the show’s description reads. “Clinton follows two Bill Clintons and Hillary on their quest to save their presidency, change America and prove that ‘politics is show business for ugly people.’” "
Political Cartoons by Nate Beeler

Did Hillary Lie to Congress?    From Ed Klein's book, Blood Feud, so consider the source. This could be accurate, but maybe not. TD
"She had no doubt that a terrorist attack had been launched against America on the anniversary of 9/11. However, when Hillary picked up the phone and heard Obama’s voice, she learned the president had other ideas in mind. With less than two months before Election Day, he was still boasting that he had al-Qaeda on the run.
If the truth about Benghazi became known, it would blow that argument out of the water.
“Hillary was stunned when she heard the president talk about the Benghazi attack,” one of her top legal advisers said in an interview. “Obama wanted her to say that the attack had been a spontaneous demonstration triggered by an obscure video on the Internet that demeaned the Prophet Mohammed.' ”

The Struggles of Hillary; The ordinary American just doesn’t know what it’s like
... "Most people can’t understand the nature of the hard work with which the Clintons are constantly building their fortune.
"They don’t know what it’s like to write a calculatedly tedious book for an almost $14 million advance."They don’t know what it’s like to get up every morning and take a private jet to an event where adoring fans line up for a book-signing (only one copy per person, and no posed photographs, please)." ...  Rich Lowry
