But Clinton, too, treats the reporters travelling with her contemptuously. Even off-the-record drinks, usually designed to show a candidate’s funny and candid side, fail to elicit any affection between Clinton and the journalists. Hillary trusts no one. She is haunted by her 2008 campaign, not only because of how she was treated by the press, but because she emerged from it over $10m in debt. The campaign doesn’t want to spend money on a bus for the reporters – who instead have to chase after Clinton in rental cars. Party volunteers and organisers bought their own clipboards and pens in Ohio and Florida, their own chairs, lawn signs, bumper stickers. “Once again,” Chozick writes, “Hillary’s biggest missteps of 2016 stemmed from trying to prove she’d learned from mistakes made in 2008.” Cheapness was part of the reason why the campaign didn’t send on‑the-ground resources to Michigan and Wisconsin, which she would lose to Trump.

So I was confused about the whole Botox thing too, like you and royaltyisshe64. But Hillrodamn (I think) cleared it up in an ask. So if you still wanna know u should check that out.

Thank you for the clarification @hillrodamn and also @hillchill for sharing your medical knowledge with us! I really didn’t know anything about the specifics of botox to be honest so that was interesting and just makes Amy’s comments even pettier seeing as they don’t even stand up to logic or remotely make sense

I'm interested in Hillary's flirting that Amy Chozick writes about. I don't think anybody has talked about it before.

I can remember if anyone’s really addressed that before either (not that there’s really any reason for anyone to have done so) but I think her flirty side has definitely been evident throughout the years so I guess Amy is among those of us who have noticed that! The kinda general impression I’m getting from what we know of her book so far though is that it’s going to be big on claims and statements like that and light on actual specific anecdotes to back them up, so personally I’m pretty doubtful that there’s going to be any further elaboration on Hillary’s flirting in the book beyond the sentence we’ve seen already

Is ''Chasing Hillary'' any good? I love hearing about behind the scene functioning of political campaigns, but would that book infuriate me as a HUGE HRC supporter?

I actually haven’t read it, so I’m afraid I’m totally unqualified to answer this! My sense from the excerpts is that Hillary’s understandable wariness of the media and her tendency to keep her walls up in those circumstances shades a lot of the assessments of Hillary and her campaign, along with the “20/20 hindsight” factor, where they make out like she was doomed to failure from the moment she was born or something. I do know that Chelsea directly disputed some of the incidents recounted in the book on Twitter, so… make of that what you will. Sorry this is such a non-answer!
