Updated Updated 3 hours ago

By Nick Baker

Hillary Clinton's shock election loss in 2016 has been endlessly picked apart, from the highest levels of political commentary, to family dinner tables around the world.
But this week, Australians were given the chance to hear from the battle-scarred former US presidential candidate herself.
"People ask how I'm doing, I say as a person I'm doing OK, but I'm pretty concerned about America," she told the largely supportive crowd in Sydney on Friday, after appearing in Melbourne on Thursday.

Speaking to a sold-out crowd at the Vancouver Convention Centre, former U.S. secretary of state and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton shared her views on her country’s political landscape, particularly in light of Roy Moore’s recent defeat in Alabama.
"The combination of Roy Moore, Steve Bannon and Donald Trump proved to be too much for a lot of Alabama Republicans to stomach," she said in Vancouver, B.C. on Wednesday. "I think that for me it was a very important turning point in basically holding President Trump and his most vitriolic, destructive advisors led by Steve Bannon accountable."
Moore, a former judge, faced controversy leading up to the election as he was accused of sexual misconduct with teenagers when he was in his 30s. Ahead of Clinton’s talk, fans waiting outside said they hoped she would to take the opportunity to weigh in on the highly controversial candidate’s defeat.

Hillary Clinton talks about sexism in Seattle visit: ‘Get more women into politics’

The line wrapped around the block of Elliott Bay Book Company Tuesday as people waited to meet Hillary Clinton during her book tour stop in Seattle.
Clinton, the first female presidential candidate nominated by a major party, won the popular vote in Washington state during the election last year.
In the wake of her unexpected loss to Donald Trump, she took to writing her memoir, “What Happened.”
During her talk at the Paramount Theater Monday – sold out, with standing room only – she reflected on what she believes stopped her from becoming the first woman president. Many things not in her favor, she says, including FBI inference, uninspired voters, but most notably sexism.
"These days when people say to me, 'How are you?' I say, 'Well, as a person, I'm OK. As an American, I'm really concerned,'” she said.
"The only way we will get sexism out of politics is to get more women into politics."

Boot-Hat Guy Brings Pony to Hillary Clinton in Concord

There had been arguments about whether the little pony, who is completely innocent in all of this, should be permitted at this one-man demonstration of ... I don't know... BernieHood? But Boot-Hat Guy received the permit and was there... in an allotted parking space.

Is it that it is Hillary's fault that everybody did not get a pony? Or is he a Hillary supporter, and this is satire of Bernie's "everybody gets a pony." In the article, the ponies are plural. Last I had seen, he had a permit for one pony in one parking space.

Vermin Supreme pays for parking ahead of the arrival of ponies across the street from a Hilary Clinton book signing in Concord Tuesday.

(DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)

Hillary Clinton gets a laugh from Vermin Supreme, who was staging an event across the street from her book signing at Gibson's in Concord on Tuesday.

(DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)

CONCORD – More than 1,000 Hillary Clinton fans crowded the South Main Street sidewalk in front of Gibson’s bookstore Tuesday morning, in a line that snaked around the block and through the store.

They waited patiently in a soft winter rain, some for hours, to meet the former First Lady, U.S. Senator, Secretary of State and presidential nominee.
Tickets to the event were $30, which included admission to the book signing and a signed copy of “What Happened.” The book’s cover price is $30, although some large retailers have priced it as low as $17. Most people walked through the line with no book in hand to exchange greetings with Clinton and picked up their signed copy on the way out.
“We’ve got to keep fighting, don’t we,” she said to one fan, who expressed disappointment at the outcome of the 2016 presidential race.
After two presidential campaigns with her husband, and two on her own, Clinton has made many friends in New Hampshire over the years.

Hillary Clinton Signs Books In NH, Brushes Off Question On Voter Fraud « CBS Boston

By HOLLY RAMER, Associated PressDecember 5, 2017 at 3:57 pm

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Hillary Clinton returned to New Hampshire for the first time since the 2016 election on Tuesday, basking in a warm welcome and brushing off a question about President Donald Trump’s unsubstantiated claim that rampant voter fraud led to her victory in the state.
About 1,000 people waited outside in light rain to meet the former Democratic presidential nominee and get a signed copy of her new book about her failed 2016 campaign, “What Happened.”
“I love coming to New Hampshire, and I love the friends that I’ve made over 25 years now. So any chance I have to come back, I am anxious to take it,” she said shortly after the signing got underway.
Clinton won New Hampshire’s four electoral votes, though Trump insists he lost the state only because “thousands” of people came by bus to vote against him. He also has created a commission to investigate allegations — offered without evidence — that millions of people voted illegally nationwide in 2016.

Hillary Clinton with Mary Beard

Hillary Clinton meets Mary Beard: ‘I would love to have told Trump: “Back off, you creep”’ | Life and style

Decca Aitkenhead

16-21 minutes

---

Hillary Clinton is sequestered in a hotel room, giving a big television interview, when Mary Beard arrives at Claridge’s. While she waits outside on the sofa, though, it quickly becomes clear that the star of this conversation is the classicist. One by one, members of Clinton’s staff approach in reverent tones to declare her their heroine. Even a passing cameraman stops to pay court and say: “I love you!” Does this happen to Beard all the time? “Yes,” she laughs, “funnily enough, it does.”
Since the Cambridge professor began presenting TV programmes on the Romans nearly a decade ago, she has become world famous, as well as wildly popular for her robust refusal to stand for misogynistic online abuse. Trolls are publicly challenged; one was memorably shamed into taking Beard to lunch to apologise for calling her “a filthy old slut”. Her latest book, Women & Power: A Manifesto, brings an illuminating historical perspective to the contemporary abuse of powerful women. (Our meeting takes place in mid-October, before the #metoo revelations had begun to gather pace.)
Clinton is in London to talk about What Happened, her rivetingly candid if shell-shocked account of her defeat to Donald Trump in last year’s US presidential election. As soon as she appears, it becomes very hard to believe she lost because voters found her cold. She greets Beard with a whoop of delight, exclaims, “This is fun!” does a very, very funny impersonation of Trump’s voice and, over the course of an hour, laughs a lot.
Once seated, the physical contrast between the two women is arresting. Clinton folds her hands carefully before her and confines her movements to slow nods of the head, while Beard gesticulates energetically as she talks, her whole upper body pitching and swaying. But the chemistry between them crackles, and Clinton conveys the impression of someone keen to see what she can learn from the academic.

She was on friendly turf, surrounded by supporters promoting her new book about the election fittingly titled: “What Happened”.

In a state that voted almost 2 to 1 for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump, and in a city that voted almost 6 to 1 for her, everyone seemed to embrace Clinton Tuesday night at the Boston Opera House.

Almost everyone. Five men stood outside the venue holding a Trump sign and chanting "lock her up!"

But inside, more than 2,500 people clapped, cheered and jumped to their feet numerous times for Clinton. A little more than a year ago, she expected a return to Boston as president. But instead, this was just the latest stop on her book tour, which she's been on for the last two months.

"What Happened" is her account of why she failed to break through that highest glass ceiling.

"It was a perfect storm. There were deep currents of anger and resentment flowing through our culture," she told the crowd.

Hillary Clinton in Atlanta: ‘The fever is breaking and the tide is turning.’

Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said the Democratic wave in last week’s elections was a sign that the “fever is breaking and the tide is turning” after her stunning defeat by Republican Donald Trump.
Clinton said Monday that the Democratic victories in statewide elections in New Jersey and Virginia, along with down-ballot gains in Georgia and elsewhere, were a “resounding affirmation of America’s best values.”
“None of that would have happened if people got discouraged and decided to give up on politics last November,” she said during her stop in Atlanta as part of a 16-city nationwide book tour.
“You’ve got some important elections next year in Georgia,” she said. “Get involved in whatever way feels right for you. But don’t give up.”
The crowd of more than 4,000 welcomed Clinton with a roar of applause, and it cheered even louder when she said her days of being guarded about what she says in public “are over.”

When asked what they would tell Trump if he were seated next to them, Bill Clinton said Trump should, "stop seeking enemies and look for people to work with"

By Cory Smith

Former president Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appeared together onstage Friday for the first time since the 2016 presidential election to answer a host of political and personal questions.

The former First Couple was very casual during the hourlong discussion at the Toyota Music Factory in Irving.

They cracked a few jokes and were very candid on a number of topics — chief among them President Donald Trump, the 2016 election and the way forward for the Democratic Party.

When asked what they would tell Trump if he were seated next to them, Bill Clinton said Trump should, "stop seeking enemies and look for people to work with."

"We're the same age," he added. "What do you want your legacy to be?"

Hillary Clinton said Trump, as president, should do more to unite the country. She also discussed some of her own missteps during the campaign.

"It was the first reality TV campaign. He was the first reality TV candidate and I was the candidate of reality. I was not as entertaining and I admit that," she said.

Hillary Clinton, in a Denver appearance Thursday night, called Colorado a “state that is really about the future,” urging Democrats — and women in particular — to keep up their activism and push back against the political polarization that dominated last year’s presidential election.
Clinton also raised a red flag about Russian interference in her contest against Donald Trump, saying it poses a “clear and present danger to Western Democracy.”
“This isn’t just about what happened. It’s about what’s happening right now,” she said while promoting her new book about the campaign, “What Happened.”
“Trump is playing right into (Russian President Vladimir) Putin’s hands. This is shameful.”
The appearance at the Bellco Theatre at the Colorado Convention Center was the Democrat’s first public one in Colorado since losing the 2016 election to Trump. Clinton covered a range of issues, from the opioid epidemic to her grandchildren, in about an hour.

Hillary Clinton’s still on book tour; Wednesday night she stopped by The Daily Show where Trevor Noah wanted to talk about The Dossier – “The document involving Donald Trump and pee”  which the DNC and her campaign”  shelled out some money to research.
“Is there difference between your team paying for this opposition research and Donald Trump’s people working with the Russians to influence the elections?” Noah asked Clinton.
“Of course there is,” Clinton said, saying she thinks “most serious people understand that.”
She explained to Noah’s viewers the research was begun by a Republican during the primary. But when Trump got the nomination for the Republican party, that other GOP candidate stopped bankrolling so the “people doing it came to my campaign lawyer and said, ‘Would you like us to continue it?’ He said yes,” Clinton explained. “He’s an experienced lawyer, knows that the law is. He knows what opposition research is.”

Hillary Clinton LAW ’73 returns to Yale

Daniel DagerOct 26, 2017

Staff Reporter

Mara Lavitt

At a cocktail party for students admitted to Harvard Law School in 1969, a professor told a young Hillary Clinton LAW ’73 that Harvard did not need any more women. Clinton, who would later become the first woman to receive a presidential nomination from a major political party, promptly, and unsurprisingly, committed to Yale, graduating in 1973.

On Wednesday Oct. 25, Clinton returned to her alma mater to discuss the 2016 election, her new book “What Happened?” and her hopes for the future of U.S. politics with Law School Dean Heather Gerken. More than 400 people — including Law School students, faculty members, administrators and Clinton’s former colleagues — packed into the Law School Auditorium to attend the discussion, giving the former secretary of state a standing ovation as she entered.

“I want to be clear that it is my best effort at explaining what happened,” Clinton said about her book. “But there are certain lessons in it that I really hope people will take away with them, because it’s not just about what happened, it’s what we need to do to prevent it from happening again.”

'Trump was a reality-TV candidate,' Hillary Clinton tells audience in Montreal

Hillary Rodham Clinton told audience at Montreal's Palais des Congrès on Monday night that she accepts blame for what she didn’t do right in her failed bid for the United States presidency in 2016.

Susan Schwartz, Montreal Gazette

Published on: October 24, 2017 | Last Updated: October 24, 2017 6:15 AM EDT

Hillary Rodham Clinton told a crowd of 3,500 at Montreal’s Palais des Congrès on Monday night that she accepts blame for what she didn’t do right in her failed bid for the United States presidency in 2016.
But there was also what she called “a perfect storm” of circumstances, including deep currents of anger flowing through the culture, information warfare waged by the Kremlin, a political press that said her use of a private email server during her term as secretary of state was the most important story of the election and the intervention only days before the Nov. 8 election by then-director James Comey of the FBI investigation into her use of the server.
Montreal is one of three Canadian stops on Clinton’s 15-city tour to promote her new book, What Happened (Simon & Schuster). The book describes her thoughts and feelings during the campaign — from what it was like to run against Donald Trump, how she has coped with losing to him and how she picked herself up afterward.
In her introduction, author and friend Louise Penny described Clinton as “hilarious, playful, always thoughtful and considerate” and called What Happened a “searing book of great honesty by one of the towering figures of a generation.”
Clinton is a fan of Penny’s books, and Penny was host to the Clintons during a vacation they took in the Eastern Townships in August.
