The Strange Authenticity of Hillary Clinton: Read her book, and you realize she might have been the most authentic candidate out there—and maybe that was the problem. - "Even for someone who saw her as a deeply flawed candidate, to read What Happened is to feel a genuine pang of regret that a person with Hillary Clinton’s impressive set of policy skills will never get to use them in the Oval Office.
