In campaign memoir, Clinton says won’t ‘sulk or disappear’

AFP

WASHINGTON: She might be finished as a US presidential candidate following her "aching" loss to Donald Trump last November, but Hillary Clinton is not going away quietly, reports AFP.

The 2016 Democratic nominee releases her new campaign confessional "What Happened" on Tuesday, coinciding with the launch of a book tour intended not only to drum up sales but perhaps re-establish Clinton as a prominent figure in US political life.

In her memoir the 69-year-old assumes her share of responsibility for her shock loss -- "My mistakes burn me up inside," she writes of her topsy-turvy presidential campaign.

But the former secretary of state and political survivor, who in a quarter century in public life rarely gave the country a personal peek behind her professional veneer, shows a vulnerable side in her book as she describes her post-campaign funk.

She admits that not a day goes by without her thinking about why she lost.

"It's going to be painful for quite a while," Clinton writes.

She also refuses to ignore the various external factors -- including Russia's attempt to sway the election, critical US media coverage, the FBI's investigation of her emails, and the strategy of her progressive rival Bernie Sanders -- that she insists helped lead to her defeat.

"None of the factors I've discussed here lessen the responsibility I feel or the aching sense that I let everyone down," she writes.
