Bill and Hillary Clinton 'haven't been speaking for months after he tossed her hand-wringing election book in the TRASH'
Bill and Hillary Clinton are not speaking to each other after a blazing argument over her election book, it has been claimed.
The former President threw a manuscript in the trash after Hillary ignored his advice not to publish it, according to author Ed Klein.
Bill had red-penned the book in an attempt to improve it, a friend allegedly told Klein, but flew into a rage when Hillary refused to read any of his notes.
'He hated the title because calling it "What Happened" would only make people say, "You lost."
'He urged her to postpone the pub date and rewrite the book, but she yelled at him and said: "The book is finished and that’s how it’s going to be published".'
Since then the pair have been speaking through friends and lawyers, the source said
Klein's book All Out War: The Plot to Destroy Trump will be released at the end of October.
The argument is believed to have taken place over the summer before Hillary took off on tour in order to promote the book.
Bill and Hillary were last pictured together toward the end of August while enjoying a visit to see friends in the Hamptons. The couple have not been seen together since.
'Even more so when you consider who my opponent was. If I had run against someone whom I disagreed with politically, but believed was up to the job, of course I would have been disappointed.
'But being in a position where I ended up losing to someone who I don't think is qualified or temperamentally ready to be president was a very deep personal regret.'
Bill was previously reported to have blown up at Hillary after her defeat, despite a public show of affection during her concession speech, accusing her of failing to campaign in rust belt states which eventually voted for Trump.
According to Ed Klein, who has written several books on the Clintons, Bill accused Hillary's campaign managers of running a 'tone deaf' race and ignoring the effect the flagging economy was having on millions of working class Americans.
Hillary has been busy appearing on daytime TV shows and giving speeches across the country as she promotes her book, which has become a bestseller.
During the tour she has blamed women, Russians, former FBI Director James Comey and a host of other reasons for her shock loss to Donald Trump.
She has also not shied away from attacking the now-President, describing him as 'unqualified' and 'even worse than I thought he was going to be.'
Clinton, most recently told Stylist magazine of her guilt at losing, saying: 'I have a great sense of responsibility, for not winning, for letting people down.

I find this very funny
I figured they would divorce at the end of Bill's presidency. When that did not happen I figured Bill was hanging around because he owed Hillary her turn. After her failed turn in 2008 I figured that would then finally be the end. Then after her definitive and political career ending defeat in 2016 I thought for sure he would walk. What is left?
This fight, if true, therefore does not surprise me in the least. But at this point I have to conclude that Bill is going to for some reason hang with Hillary to the end.
.... must be true love ....
They love making each other miserable.
I agree. Hillary stood by her man through rape allegations and adultery.
However, if Bill had not managed to be elected in 1992, I believe that Hillary would have divorced Bill and looked for better options to further her political ambitions.
... must be true love ...
I believe it is political ambition and the money/power that accompanies being elected to political office. They both have enough leverage to destroy the other in politics and the public eye.
Love and $2 might buy a glass of tea.
Neither have a future in politics so I do not see what is keeping them together. Neither will want to destroy the other since they are joined at the hip. Destroying the other mars one's own legacy.
Possibly, public perception and their place in the history books.
If they divorce now, it gives credibility to the rumors that the marriage has been a sham all along.
Plus, it could be that together they can shield one another from the people who would attack one of them if they should divorce.
Of course, it could be that they're just too damned old to care anymore and have been living separate lives for so long that they are content with the lives they now lead.
Marriage in name only. Marriage of convenience. No real value divorcing. Makes sense.
Probably only to those of us who are not enthralled with the Clintons.
And the liberals call Trump emotionally unstable....
And the Clintons have been married how many times?
Funny that you find a domestic argument unstable for a couple that have stayed together all these years regardless of the situation, but ignore the actual instability of Trump's marriages and his daily irrational rants.
Bill and Hillarys marriage is a total sham. Bill has openly flaunted his infidelity for years. The point isn't to say Trump is stable himself but that Hillary is much much worse.
Regardless of what you THINK it is, the fact remains the same, all the bumps bruises, warts....they're still married.
How many sham marriages would you like to count in politics? You think Jackie didn't know about Kennedy fucking anything that moved? Or Pat Nixon and Dick's Asian gf? Barbara Bush and GHW's secretary? How do you think Laura felt when Jeff was around? You think Melania's English is so bad the didn't understand "Grab 'em by the pussy"?
So how do you judge a sham marriage?
A sham marriage is bring publicly humiliated by a spouse with undeniable proof (stains on a dress) and sticking together anyway. Because first Bill needs Hillary to stick around so he doesn't look like a creep (like Anthony Weiner) and Hillary needed him for his name and support to run for president.
Why she is still with him I'll never know. As for Trump I don't care at all about his marriages mainly because he's not Hillary or a socialist.
No, He's Sarah Palin and worse.
I would point to tRump, at least two of his marriages have been a notch above mail orders, his fidelity a joke and yet the right has the audacity to ridicule Bill and Hillary. How lame.
And we all know that is a "contract" marriage and is a farce. Any woman with half a brain would have left a husband that had that many affairs. Most would have left him after one affair. But Hillary stuck around to keep the name "Former First "Lady"" so that she can further her political career. She rode Bill's coat tails in the hopes it would lead her to the White House.
You can assume all you like but ya never really know.
What does that make Melania? Or Laura, Or Barbara? Are they "contract marriages" as well?
Yeah.....another RW gossip monger the conservatives don't even trust but obviously that doesn't make a difference in this crowd.
Criticism
Klein received extensive criticism for his 2005 biography of Hillary Clinton, The Truth About Hillary . Politico criticized the book for "serious factual errors, truncated and distorted quotes and overall themes [that] don't gibe with any other serious accounts of Clinton's life." [9] The conservative columnist John Podhoretz criticized the book in the New York Post , "Thirty pages into it, I wanted to take a shower. Sixty pages into it, I wanted to be decontaminated. And 200 pages into it, I wanted someone to drive stakes through my eyes so I wouldn't have to suffer through another word." [10] In the National Review , conservative columnist James Geraghty wrote, “Folks, there are plenty of arguments against Hillary Clinton, her policies, her views, her proposals, and her philosophies. This stuff ain’t it. Nobody on the right, left, or center ought to stoop to this level.” [11]
Kathryn Jean Lopez of National Review asked Klein in a June 20, 2005 interview, "Why on earth would you put such a terrible story in your book...that looks to be flimsily sourced at that?," regarding his suggestion that Chelsea Clinton was conceived in an act of marital rape . [12] Facing criticism from both the left and right for making the claim, Klein eventually backed away from the insinuation in an interview with radio host Jim Bohannon on June 23, 2005. [13]
The British newspaper The Guardian pointed out a number of verifiable factual errors in Klein's 2014 book Blood Feud . [14]
Questions of credibility of sources in work
Klein has also come under fire for his use of anonymous quotes, purported to be from the subjects of his books, which he claims he received from anonymous insiders. The credibility of such quotes has been questioned by writers such as Joe Conason , [15] Salon's Simon Malloy [16] and conservative commentators Rush Limbaugh [17] and Peggy Noonan . [18] "Some of the quotes strike me as odd, in the sense that I don't know people who speak this way," Limbaugh said of Klein's work, describing the sources as "grade school chatter."
Why did you omit this part about Klein's career and focus only on what you call "gossip"?
One doesn't have to be a genius to figure out the "love affair" between the Clintons. Power and money! That is the only reason why Hillary stayed with Pres. Clinton. She wanted her turn and he stayed with her 'cause he owed her.
Pres. Clinton was right. She disregarded the working man and thought her Hampton buddies were the answer. Bring me the money and I will bring you the presidency!
When she failed to pass the bar in Washington, D.C., she married Pres. Clinton. After all, he was going to be the Gov. of Arkansas and that was a means to the end for her.
I am, also, not surprised he was against the book. He may not be the most perfect, but he does have some class when it comes to personal appearances.
I wonder which Clinton insider will write the "tell all" book? Hope their insurance is paid up.
Someone will, for a fact.
I hope it doesn't happen, but whoever it may be also needs security guards. The Clintons have a long list of friends and foes who committed "suicide" by being dexterous enough to shoot themselves in the backs of their heads and torsos. There are other mysterious deaths linked to the Clintons as well.
they will have to wait till the Clintons die.
One day social scientist/historians will have a field day analyzing why people , mostly conservatives, were completely obsessed with two ordinary late 20th/early 21st century politicians.
I predict they will be unable to find a good reason for it.
Because it is interesting with intrigue.
Have you ever read the books on the Kennedy family? Poppa Kennedy (from several books I have read) was, probably, the most corrupt individual involved in politics. The Longs in LA for another one. The Republican politicians are not as interesting.....boring.
It seems that you're trying to blame Conservatives for what the Clintons, themselves, have done. The Clintons, especially Hillary, create their own problems. If she really wanted people to stop talking about her, she'd stop making so many TV appearances and find something satisfying and useful to do - like playing with her grandchildren.
Here's another activity for her -- putting her money where her mouth is and actually DO something that shows she cares about ALL women. During this last campaign, she only cared about women in CA and NY ... especially those who were her donors.
There is no longer any need for Bill or Hillary to continue the farce that there is anything between them other than animosity. Both their political careers are over and their marital problems won't affect the daughter any way.
Chelsea's parents really put that young woman through the wringer. Whether they go their separate ways or not she will always be in the middle.
Does that go along with the much stated "Obama's will divorce as soon as he's out"?
It seems everyone on the right has proof that Bill and Hillary hate each other and yet correctly stated there is no more reason politically for them to stay together....and here we are, they are still together.
But, are they living together? They could stay married for the rest of their lives and go their separate ways.
That's much stated? I've never heard it before. As for Bill and Hillary, when was the last time they shared a house together? I would be shocked if they have been romantic together in years. As soon as they left the WH she went her way and he went his. They only got together when she needed his help on the campaign trail. They are married in name only now. Can you show anyone the slightest proof that they do anything together other than political campaigning?
Well, they've "hiked" together in the Chappaqua woods since she lost:
Here and here
Oh, wait -- those pics were just photo ops to show how happy and healthy Hillary is.
