CORN, POPPED: Democrats Fret as Clinton Book Rollout Looms. “The losing presidential candidate wants to talk about what went wrong. Her party wishes she wouldn’t.”
Can you blame them?
Clinton has promised to “let my guard down” in the book, “What Happened,” explaining her shocking loss to Trump in November. She has already offered up several explanations, blaming Russian interference, former FBI director James Comey, and misogyny, while also acknowledging tactical errors by her campaign.
Many Washington Democrats, though unwilling to criticize her in public, wish she’d “move on,” as Senator Al Franken has put it. They fear that her complaints help Trump make his case that the controversies surrounding him flow from the Democrats’ bitterness about their 2016 loss.
They prefer the approach taken by Al Gore after his equally controversial loss in 2000.
That’s not going to work, because Clinton scammed her way to riches before losing a presidential election.
