    No surprise here.

    This is the alt-left propaganda machine in full swing.

    By deleting the bad reviews, the only people they are appealing too are the Clinton sycophants.

    Sarah Palin's book hit number one also.

    What's your point?

    All "1" and "10" ratings, in any form of media, should be discarded by default on congregate sites.

    Yet there are still quite a few "One star" reviews.

    I guess the right-wing is feeling disappointed that companies are starting to take actions against their Russian troll farms.

    That these coordinated troll attacks aren't accomplishing anything.

    Actually, there aren't. The amazon breakdown right now from 440 reviews is:
    97% 5-star (?????????????)
    1% 4-star
    1% 3-star
    1% 1-star.

    There is no bleeping way Amazon isn't messing with those numbers, especially considering how polarizing Hillary is. To contrast, Barack Obama's "Dreams" book has 60% 5-stars. George Bush's "Decision Points" is 69% 5-star. For Hillary to be at 97% - 97%!! - is laughable.

    If they buy the book, they can leave as negative of a review as they want.

    The online retail giant has a "verified purchase" option to signpost whether reviewers have bought a product, and none of the 42 reviewers leaving comments on Tuesday had done so.

    I guess Amazon doesn't want my business anymore, I just closed my Prime account. I urge anyone else that thinks like me to do the same.

    So you think the alt-left - which is a category of people you pulled out of your ass - has infiltrated Amazon? Or maybe you would like the Government to direct commercial businesses what they should put on their website?

    Haha, this is so standard Hillary. I don't blame Amazon. I am a huge Amazon fan and if their policy is only verified purchasers then I am fine with it. This whole situation just fits the Clinton way of doing things. Like other people I find it difficult to believe that 427 of the 440 book purchasers have read the book and thinks it deserves 5 stars. My guess would be Hillary and her people just took some money out of petty cash and bought hundreds of books just to leave the 5 star reviews. It is her standard modus operandi. Why do something legitimately when you can stack the odds in your favor using money.

    As soon as you see someone use the terms "coordinated troll attack" or "Russian troll farm" - know that they are Americans who would make up any reason to jail someone who disagrees with them.

    You think they're talking about someone else. No kids. They're talking about you.

    They're just waiting on the paperwork to go through.

    If you're not a mindless drone of the global narrative - you better start panicking.

    I wouldn't blame Amazon. If it is their policy that only "verified purchases" can leave reviews it is fair.

    "Troll" will be the 21st century equivalent of "terrorist". Whomever the powers that be don't like, the name applies. And since the new enemy uses their brains instead of violence, well they better shift those goal posts, right?

    With the ruling on the DNC corruption as to Sanders, they have guaranteed we will never get a people's candidate again.
    The next globalist stooge elected president ends American cyber freedom.

    Looks like the right-wing is pissed that Amazon nullified their bot army a bit.

    Might that be because it was released on the 12th (yesterday)?

    Is this similar to when insane, rightwing billionaire-backed foundations buy up many thousands of Rush, Coulter and O'Reilly books? No it isn't, is it?

    Oh I didn't know. It's not like I'm going to be reading it. Parts of it have been released already on the internet so I assumed it was already on sale.

    I'm sure it will do as well as her last smash "Hard Choices". lmao.
