No one is buying "Hillary's" book anyways. Apparently the publisher gave her like a $14 million advance and they aren't even going to make it back.

What I find really funny is that she didn't even write the damn book, she had a team put it together for her.

When you're flat broke you can afford to have people do things for you.
