Hulu has optioned the rights to Curtis Sittenfeld’s alternative history book “Rodham,” which takes place in a world in which Hillary Rodham never married Bill Clinton.
The series is described as telling the story of an ambitious young woman, developing her extraordinary mind in the latter part of the 20th century, moving from idealism to cynicism and all the way back again.
Sarah Treem is attached to write and executive produce the project. “The Handmaid’s Tale” executive producer Warren Littlefield will also executive produce “Rodham” via The Littlefield Company along with Sittenfeld. Fox 21 Television Studios, where Littlefield is under an overall deal, will produce.

I may be the only one, but this sounds spectacularly bad.

Hillary got to power by riding on the coattails of greater men, most of which were accused of sexual assault. What is she just going to be some sort of Assistant DA over in Chicago and let Jussie Smollett off?

Nope, you are not alone.
She would've never got to where she did without Bill.

I don't want to turn this political or anything because HRC generally sucks as a person. But even if I were to ignore that, she has never struck me as an intellectual, or someone who is more than above average is intelligence. She's generally an opportunist more than anything else. It's not like her intelligence is why people liked her.

Based on the subject alone, I figured this would be about if she had beaten Trump.
Instead, this seems even worse.

Reading Amazon reviews about the book right now, I can't stop laughing

The second half of the novel is a giant mess. In rewriting Clinton’s history, Sittenfield has her make decisions completely at odds with who she is as a person. Erasing Carol Moseley Braun? Having Bill Clinton run against her for president and lead crowds in misogynistic chants forcing her to seek help from... Donald Trump?

No one ever liked Hillary. She got votes because she was the nominee in 2016, but those came by default.

Well yeah, she was a proxy for the perceived battle against the patriarchy via political gains. "She" wasn't like as a person, she was liked as a symbol.

So it's going to tell the story of a woman getting disbarred for ethical reasons? Not very exciting.

I think Bill got to power bc of her. He’s pretty stupid and all he’s concerned with is chasing tail. She has the political skill, she just is a horrible person and everyone knows it. She never gets as close to the presidency without Bill though, probably never even gets elected to anything big

That sounds awful

Lol Bill was a Georgetown grad and Rhodes Scholar. He was also one of the most charismatic presidents of the modern era, something Hillary doesn’t possess an ounce of.
There are 100 terrible things locked in his closet, but stepping on HRCs shoulders to take the presidency is not one of them.

Hillary did all the clean up for 100 terrible things. That is why they are still locked in the closet.

The real winner in this alternate universe is Bill
