What happened? Not Hillary Clinton's tax hikes

If Donald Trump hadn’t won the election, we wouldn’t be talking about tax reform right now. We’d be talking about all the ways President Hillary Clinton was trying to extract a tax increase from the Republican Congress. The establishment press would be blaming “partisan” Republicans for causing gridlock and a “broken Washington” by declining to cave to Clinton’s oh-so-reasonable demand for higher taxes.

In What Happened, Clinton (now on book tour through mid-December) makes many excuses for her loss. But she seems not to grasp the role played by one of her biggest areas of policy contrast with Trump: taxes.
