Nothing has worked: book after book (e.g. Ed Kleins Blood Feud, Daniel Halpers Clinton Inc., and Peter Schweizers Clinton Cash), invented scandal after invented scandal. Hillary Clintons popularity has bent but not broken.
So why not another book? And Im sure there is time for another scandal before Election Day 2016. The book is more of a broadly-based attack on the whole family: The Clintons War on Women, is the definitive exposé of Bill, Hillary, Chelsea, and their abuse of people, says author Roger Stone.
You might have noticed it is clear conservatives have or this book would not have been written that the Clintons have become something along the lines of champions of people. Hillary herself is running in 2016 as a champion of women:

They will have to change their tune now to Hillary is attacking womens issues as a way of deflecting attention from her own attack on women or something similar. Stone himself dismisses Clinton as a womens champion, saying I think we can make a case that Hillarys advocacy for women is phony, its bogus. Its an adaption based on polls, not beliefs.
We can probably make a better case that his book can be dismissed as more a product of unreasoning hatred and less of fact.
Roger Stone, used to work for Donald Trump and says he remains Trumps friend and supporter even though Trump told Jeffrey Toobin at The New Yorker in 2008 that Roger is a stone-cold loser and He always tries taking credit for things he never did. According to Toobin, Like Nixon, Stone is also a great haterof, among others, the Clintons, Karl Rove, and Eliot Spitzer.

(145,554 posts)Rove's favorite trick is to try to turn a candidate's strength against that candidate. Hillary Clinton has been a champion of women so she must be branded as part of the war on women.
This trick will not work
