Hillary Clinton Releases Campaign Memoir Titled ‘What Happened.’ Twitter Goes to Town On It.
What happened? A whole bunch of tweets dragging ‘What Happened.’

The title of Hillary Clinton’s memoir about the 2016 presidential election is here.
It’s called… What Happened.
Writing “What Happened” was hard, so is what we see every day. As we move forward & fight back, I hope this helps.https://t.co/cD45JRy2Q0 pic.twitter.com/iAMM3tflWc

The former Democratic presidential candidate’s publisher, Simon & Schuster, says Clinton will tell the “story of what it was like to be the first woman nominated for president in an election marked by rage, sexism, exhilarating highs and infuriating lows, kooky theatrics, Russian interference, a maddening inattention to serious issues, deplorable (yes, deplorable) bigotry, and an opponent who broke all the rules.”
Content aside, it is Clinton’s title that has generated the most interest (and dragging), with #BetterNamesForHillarysBook trending on Twitter.
"What Happened" is just the words "Hi mostly entrenched misogyny & then Subaru owners wanted ineffectual grandpa so we split & Putin won."

Hillary's new book #WhatHappened is going to detail how she spent over $1 billion, still lost the election and how it's not her fault.

Cliff Notes: Trump colluded w/ Russia and Hillary still won popular vote by 3 million
“What Happened” is you are the sort of person who thought publishing a book called “What Happened” was a good idea. That’s what happened.

"What happened" more like "whaaaaaa-a-a-aaat happened"

If Hillary doesn't start the book "What Happened" with "First of all, if you don't like me, you can fuck off" I'll be upset.
