Hillary Clinton Book-Signing Draws More Than 1,000 To Brookfield Costco
Source: Hartford Courant
At the head of a serpentine line of Hillary Clinton supporters, Tony Bosco-Schmidt had 18 hours to practice what hed say when he met the former presidential candidate at his local Costco in Brookfield.
I hear we have seven seconds, Bosco-Schmidt said before settling on Thank you. Thank you for your service, and I admire you.
Bosco-Schmidt joined more than a 1,000 others at his local Costco Saturday for the chance for a brief conversation and to get a signed copy of Clintons new book, What Happened, about the 2016 presidential campaign. Clintons 15-city book tour came to Connecticut after starting in New York this week.
Many of the people who showed up in Saturday morning for the two-hour signing event wondered why Clinton was coming to Brookfield, a town of 16,400 that has not backed a Democratic presidential candidate since Lyndon B. Johnson, and which voted for Clintons opponent, Donald J. Trump, by a large majority.

Nice story, and nice video at the link. She's still overwhelmingly loved, especially in New England! People slept in the parking lot overnight to see her, and there were thousands in the parking lot.

At least that's what I keep hearing on tv and on the internet thingy!

I read these comment because you mentioned them, but for the most part I've stopped reading any others because they're so nasty.

Still, she should be the president instead of that insanely stupid orange fuck that's in there now.
