Heres the Deal sold just 25,000 copies in its first week. The second week should be a lot less, too. The book has already dropped to number 126 on amazons best seller list.
Compare Conways sales to those of Donald Trumps dissenting niece, Mary Trump. Her first book, Too Much and Never Enough, clocked 1.35 million in his debut week. Michelle Obama? Her Becoming was well over a million, as well. And even Donald Trump himself sold about 240,000 copies of a coffee table book last winter, which is now being used as a large coaster. (It was self published by Trumps self-parody of a son, Donald Jr.)
Heres the Deal is published by Threshold Editions, a sub imprint at Simon & Schuster founded by conservative pundit and former Reagan-Bush lieutenant Mary Matalin, whos still married after all these years to outspoken liberal and Clinton disciple James Carville.

(47,501 posts)They aren't buying her book, because even they don't like her. She is inherently unlikable to pretty much everybody.

McCains book, "Bad Republican: A Memoir, sold only 244 copies its first week and averaged sales of about 20 copies per day thereafter.
Heres the deal, Ms. Conway. Theres little demand for bad books by bad Republicans.
And, yes, this is what cancel culture really looks like.
