I expected nothing but effusive praise from major media for Initially that seemed where the reviews were headed. Prior to the book's official release The same might be said of Dickerson added, "The volume of this book is meant in a political context to suggest that the voters can put the world in her hands.

"Ready for Hillary" is the name of an "unauthorized" super PAC formed by Clinton supporters last January. The assumption is that we'll answer in the affirmative. But given her abysmal record, if that is what she's being judged on, we're definitely not ready.
