Immediately following a rare national sit-down interview with Hillary Clinton Friday afternoon, MSNBCs Andrea Mitchell brought in a panel of seven commentators to weigh in on what stood out to them in the conversation. First up: Rachel Maddow.
On the email issue, which dominated the first part of Mitchells interview, Maddow said, Obviously its starting to feel like a threshold political issue for her, not just a sidebar. She appeared to give Clinton the benefit of the doubt that the whole thing boils down to nothing more complicated than she didnt stop and think about the consequences and it wasnt the best choice to use a private email server.
From there, Maddow moved on to Mitchells question about Clintons authenticity compared to candidates like Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders and even Joe Biden, who have an easier time connecting with voters on an emotional level. She noted that Clinton seemed to be contrasting her deliberate speaking style with the loose talk, threats, insults of someone like Trump. The president of the United States needs to be careful about what he or she says, Clinton added.
Paraphrasing Clintons point, Maddow said, Listen, I talk like a president, I talk like somebody at the highest levels of government because I have operated at the highest levels of government. The reason I dont rail and insult people and move people in an emotional way is because Im speaking precisely and that should be seen as feature, not a bug.
