Winston Groat attended Hillary’s event in Atlanta this week and sent along this commentary, photos, and article. Thanks, Winston!

This week, Hillary appeared in Atlanta to speak about her book and our country’s future.  I attended the event along with 4,000 other like minded, energetic individuals.

I’ve never spent a more positive, uplifting and exhilarating evening!   The Fox Theatre roared with applause and energy throughout the night as she spoke.

The moderator used a question I submitted to close out the evening and say thank you for coming to Atlanta:
“May I give you a hug to thank you for your many years of service to our country and your continued leadership & inspiration”….

Hillary glowed as she waived goodbye to the crowd.

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.”

On the eve of the anniversary weekend in Little Rock, Bill and Hillary Clinton made a joint appearance in Irving, Texas where Hillary also held a book signing.

Former President Bill Clinton, Secretary Hillary Clinton Share Stage in Irving

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”

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 speaks in Denver

John Leyba, The Denver Pos Hilary Clinton addresses the audience about her new book, “What Happened” on Nov. 16, 2017 at the Bellco Theatre at the Colorado Convention Center.

Jesse Paul

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.

If you missed Hillary Clinton’s appearance with Trevor Noah Wednesday night, you can catch it here.>>>>


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 was back in the state where she was born and raised while the indictment dominated the news along with the surprise guilty plea of former Trump staffer, George Papadopoulos. Hillary promised a great chapter on Russia. Indeed, it is an important segment in her book.


On the heels of the federal indictment of President Donald Trump‘s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, Hillary Clinton made the rounds of the Chicago area Monday in support of her new book that examines the historic election.

“I have a great chapter about Russia in here,” Clinton told members of the media as she signed copies of her book “What Happened” at the Book Stall in Winnetka. It was the only public comment Clinton made during her suburban visit regarding the latest events surrounding Manafort.

Hillary went home to Yale Law School Wednesday evening for a reunion with former classmates and a promotional appearance for her book. She spoke for about an hour to an audience of perhaps about 400. She told them that her original plans for after the election did not include writing a book, and that Fox News consumers do not understand that they are being played.

See the video at the link below.

Hillary Clinton LAW ’73 returns to Yale

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.

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.

Around 2,000 people gathered at the Palais des Congrès in Montreal Monday night to hear former Secretary of State and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speak during a stop on her new book tour.

Clinton’s book, What Happened, was released last month and has been praised for its candour and willingness to admit mistakes as well as being openly critical of the Trump administration.

The former first lady was introduced by a close friend of the Clinton family, Quebec author Louise Penny.

Clinton and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, were in Quebec’s Eastern Townships in August vacationing and visiting with Penny.

She was welcomed onstage and warmly applauded by the crowd.

Clinton wore a surgical boot on her right foot, which she fractured falling down some stairs last week.

Still, she spoke gamely, talking about her book and taking questions from moderator Caroline Codsi, president and founder of Women in Governance.d more
