Fiction would be just about everything she has ever written. But in this case, she actually attempted to write a fiction based on her perspective of what is fact. Her book (co-authored Louise Penny),'State of Terror', describes the hero Sec State navigating a terrorist plot, nuclear weapons, and a Trump-like President. She battles sexist comments from the males in the book but finds solidarity with the women. The terror plot surrounds the previous administration giving Afghanistan back to the Taliban.The villain is a Pakistani "merchant of death" who thinks AQ Khan didn't go far enough. The previous President as Madam Sec Madam Sec describes it works for profits from scheming with foreign governments. He has a palatial Florida estate. He has an alluring but "terrifying" personality. (Get it?)
“To be in his orbit was to experience something extraordinary. There was a pull, a promise of excitement. Of danger. Like juggling grenades. It was exhilarating. And terrifying. Even she could feel it.”
The incoming President is as dumb as a rock. In fact, all the male characters have shortcomings while the women in the story outsmart their male counterparts.

Well she will either get a Pulitzer for this or for her other work of fiction called 'What Happened' . The thing that both books have in common is that in neither book was the Sec State to blame .

It's just amazing to see the utter hatred of the liberal dems for Trump.

However good her latest work of fiction is, it'll never match up to her masterpiece about the brave and heroic first lady who flew into Kosovo under fire in order to do...whatever.

Yes that one is up there .But the whopper of all her fictions is the one that Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election . She has come a long way from the fiction that she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary ;or the fiction that an anti-Mohamed video caused Benghazi;or the fiction that she made a 10,000 percent profit in commodity trading by studying the Wall Street Journal.

Today, the American people agree. A recent NBC News poll found that just 11 percent of Americans say Clinton is honest and trustworthy. To put that in perspective, 14 percent of American voters believe in Bigfoot. In other words, more Americans believe that a large, hairy, hominoid creature inhabits the forest of North America than believe that Hillary Clinton tells the truth.
