That would be Tony Schwartz, of course.

Sumbitch couldn't ever write the book he was famous for.

... many ghostwriters get even less credit. The ghost behind Clinton’s 1996 bestseller, “It Takes a Village,” wasn’t credited at all. That prompted complaints from Barbara Feinman Todd, a Georgetown University lecturer and writer who reportedly labored for seven months on the book ............................frequently politicians use ghostwriters to churn out their hagiographic campaign books, Feinman’s complaint implicitly raised a question: Is it ethical to pass off the work of someone else as your own?

   I know Trump has some problems , but generally Hillary Clinton has the same problems just bigger.

[Xavier_Onassis]

She certainly did nothing like pass off a ghostwritten book as her own and disgust its real author so much that he denounced her. Trump is ignorant and determined to stay ignorant.

  No. This describes exactly what she did.

    Trump must be her brother from another mother.

Trump is famous for making deals, but he had to hire some guy to follow him around for months to get the book written.
His fame depends on the book, and the book is a bunch of puffery. Failures are ignored, successes exaggerated.
Read the damned article.

Hillary's book has very little to do with her fame. Basically, the country was pretty well run from 1993 to 2001, and a majority of the people thought it was worth reelecting the Democrats again. Gore got a million votes more than Juniorbush. He did not become president because of the idiotic Electoral College prevented real democracy from triumphing. If Hillary had a ghostwriter, none has come forward to tell the voters that she is unfit, as is the case with The Donald.

We now have established a national health care system, and it will not be abolished. Gay marriages will not be annulled. We will continue to have a viable auto industry, and it is thanks to Obama. He would have done a better job if not for stubborn, hateful pricks like Boehner, Ryan and McConnell.

   If Trump is disqualified for using a ghost writer , why isn't Hillary Clinton so disqualified?

[Xavier_Onassis]

He is not disqualified for hiring a ghost writer. He is disqualified for being a lying swindler, which was revealed by the ghost writer as well as nearly everyone else that has ever investigated Trump.

There is no proof that Hillary used a ghost writer, though all manuscripts of this sort are always redacted for organization and clarity by the editorial staff. And of course, if Hillary DID have a ghostwriter, he or she has not come forward, as a patriotic citizen, to declare that Trump is lying asshole and unfit for the job due to his rampant egomania, monumental ignorance and having the attention span of a gnat.

Clinton didn't need a ghostwriter to do that.....she simply had the head of the FBI make that implied declaration

[Xavier_Onassis]

Nonetheless. the guy who wrote "The Art of the Deal"  and made millions for writing it, spent months with Trump and now comes forward to tell us all that electing Trump would be a danger to the nation.

The FBI director said that he lacked sufficient evidence to bring Hillary to court and accuse her of anything.

The lizard brains of the delegates at the Republican Convention were lighting up in the same places when they shouted "Lock Her Up!" as those of Das Volk when they shouted "Seig Heil!"

[sirs]

Nonetheless. ......

........Unlike Trump, Clinton has the stamp of incompotence regarding our national security, than none other than Obama's FBI.  The most important responsibility to that of a President.  Brilliant choice

You would hate Hillary if Benghazi had never happened
You would hate Hillary  if she had not used her own personal computer.

But it is clear that Trump is not any sort of conservative, has no plan foe any of the things he wants to do and cannot even produce his tax returns.

What is his plan for taxes? Lower them.
What is his plan for Vets?  Spend more money on them.
What is his plan for the military? More men, more arms, more boats.
What is his plan for Immigrants? Deport them all, spending more money to do so. They won't be buying their own tickets.
What is his plan for healthcare?  Who knows? But it will be GREAT!
He will revoke all the trade deals, and spend less on NATO.
He will build a WALL and make the MEXICANS pay for it. How will he make them pay?

The only sure thing is that we will have to hear from Trump or hear about Trump every waking hour of every day.

[sirs]

The only "sure thing" here is this ongoing art of deflection you've mastered.  Case in point, this continued railing about folks like myself being some Clinton hater, as if that negates anything being criticized, when you're identical in your Trump/Republican hating.  Does that mean anything you critique/condemn Trump for is negated, because you're such a hater??  The fact is she DID lie about Benghazi.  She DID disregard repeated requests for additional security.  She DID store, receive and send the most classified of information on her PC, on a non-secured server, located in her basement, contrary to Federal law, guidelines, and protocol, that she herself signed that she would abide by.  She chose to ignore the law....and compromised our country's security in the process.  A resume' highlight the electorate will be consistently reminded of

And news flash, I don't "hate" anyone.  I hate the policies they push and the attempt to control every aspect of our lives.  She has the added level the very worst in political cronyism, boght and payed for 10x over, never having driven a car for decades, with a daughter fresh out of College, being given a $900,000 job, in her 1st gig, lecturing us about white privelege, and standing up for the "little guy".  She wouldn't know what the little guy did if she ran over him in her tax payer payed limo

And with all this attempted deflective bluster and vitriole being thrown at Trump, still doesn't refute the FACT, that it was Clinton who was found to be grossly negligent, careless, and a liar, when it came to our national security, the most important aspect in a President.  Say what you will about Trump, Clinton gets that ringing endorsement of incompotence, straight from the FBI

True , her record of malfeasance was long already when these things happened.

But these things did happen, and after Bengasi she did lie and misdirect the anger of the public, trying to scapegoat the producer of a foolish film.

After the  news broke of her abuse of secrets and state department policy she lied to the public and she lied to Federal Investigators.

These things do not matter at this point , not because these are minor , no , these things do not matter at this point because Hillary Clinton has clout and does not mind using it to shift blame onto others.

Theodore C. Sorensen was a brilliant writer—who put Kennedy on the political map and invented the image of the future president as an idealist by ghostwriting Kennedy's Pulitzer Prize-winning Profiles in Courage in 1956 and coming up with the catchy phrases “the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans” ...
