### Hillary Clinton Book Sales, Hard Choices Marketing

Hillary Clinton's new book, "Hard Choices," is reportedly struggling with weak sales, moving only about 60,000 to 100,000 copies. Critics point to a "creepy" cover photo, excessive length (600 pages), and a boring book tour as reasons for the poor performance. The book is seen as a transparent attempt to "soft-pedal" her record and cover her tracks regarding the Benghazi scandal.
