Hillary comes to Hartford, selling a book and Kamala for president

The applause was long and loud. Not nearly as long and loud as what greeted her at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, but there was no doubt Thursday night that Hillary Clinton was among friends at the Bushnell in Hartford.

Clinton is on a book tour like no other, nearly filling theaters with fans willing to pay upwards of $100 for the opportunity to cheer the woman who won the popular vote for president by 2.9 million in 2016 but still lost to Donald J. Trump.

Not every author of a political memoir gets an introduction by a governor, a courtesy extended Thursday by Gov. Ned Lamont, or a gentle Q&A from a sitting United States senator, as Sen. Chris Murphy provided.

Clinton is selling books, settling scores and capitalizing on the synergies of touring America at a moment when another woman, Kamala Harris, is knocking on the glass ceiling that Clinton could not break. And, once again, Trump is the opponent.
