Once the shock of Hillary Clinton election loss passed, the blame game began.

But FBI Director Comey's decision to reopen the investigation into Hillary's emails the Wikileaks revelations and campaign strategy missteps were hardly the only reasons to blame for Hillary's devastating loss. Nor was the inability of the Democratic candidate to  connect to voters.

According to presidential historian and New York Times bestselling author Doug Wead, Hillary's scathing defeat was unsurprising and a direct result of the scandals, lies and cover-ups that have followed her and her husband for decades.

'The idea that the Clintons' scandals would somehow be dismissed by history upon the election of Hillary as president was always a fool's wish', Wead writes in his compelling new book, Game of Thorns: The Inside Story of Hillary Clinton's Failed Campaign and Donald Trump's Winning Strategy.
