Hillary Rodham Clinton - What Happened

Read by the Author

Published in Sept 2017, Clinton gives a blow by blow account of the lead up to the presidential election she lost to Trump. This was on the heels of losing in the primaries several years earlier to Barack Obama. It must have felt that what she thought was her right to the keys of the White House were forever destined to be out of reach.

It is well structured and when discussing her early years and rise through the ranks of Democrats there is a real pride...a real joy in describing her family life...her husband and daughter and then her grandchildren is beautifully presented. 

It is sad that someone with such sincerity seems to have lost her way so many times..even if she felt her heart was in the right place.

A great story that unfortunately as the telling progresses really brings out the bitterness and genuine heartbreak of losing the election. It is sad but clear that the race for the White House ends up as a race of who the US people hated less. It is fascinating looking back to wonder what an alternative presidency with Hillary at the helm might have looked like as in some ways she was just as polarising as Trump. A great listen for all political aficionados.
