Welcome to Litsy!

This book was amazing! It was so much nerdy fun to revisit this election and get the views from insiders from all of the various campaigns. The only downer is that I had this book several days before the election while finishing it a couple of days on the other side of Election Day…those Obama years where progressive thought we turned a corner seem so far away…no offense to those on the other side of the political spectrum.

This wasn‘t an entirely flattering portrayal of Hillary, but I feel like I know her better. And respect her for what she has accomplished and where she fell short. I think the author feels the same. Made a great audiobook narrated by Amy!

@TheBookHippie and I have been on a similar wavelength today. She posted two fabulous songs that I had never heard of re: HC's speech last night. I've been watching/listening all morning to this one by Kate McKinnon and wondering what might have been but thrilled that “the future is here.“ 🩶🖤🩶

More than Russian interference, I feel like the polls and predictions did more to influence the 2016 elections. i feel as if maybe by saying Hillary had an almost 100% chance of winning, it fueled those who were not necessarily going to vote to go vote for Donald Trump. #obama #thecallofhistory #peterbaker #donaldtrump #polls #election #2016election #hillaryclinton #russia #collusion #uspolitics #politicalscience #ushistory #history

I read this line while listening to the bridge of Getaway Car and… it‘s fitting. #obama #thecallofhistory #peterbaker #hillaryclinton #donaldtrump #presidency #getawaycar #taylorswift #uspolitics #politicalscience #history #ushistory #election #2016election

Should I ever teach history, I want to teach my students to put themselves in the shoes of historical figures or people of the time period. If I ever get to teach college level 1990s presidential history, I promise you there will be an assignment dedicated to what the lawyers might have said when breaking the news to Hillary of Clinton‘s confession #confession #hillaryclinton #billclinton #impeachment #peterbaker #ushistory #uspolitics

Interesting how Hillary wrote a memo and did research on presidential impeachment- I love foreshadowing in history. #foreshadowing #irony #hillaryrodham #hillaryclinton #richardnixon #billclinton #impeachment #uspolitics #ushistory #history #politicalscience #presidency #peterbaker

The artwork in the book is gorgeous - just look at the endpapers.
