"It's Personal" Hillary got PWNED in the debate and tried to use the SAME LINE... |
|
the NEXT DAY. She didn't "CRY". She tried to UP THE ANTE.
It was OBVIOUS.
It was a failed gambit.
She could have at LEAST changed up the words a little.
That's what is so GALLING about this whole spectacle to ME.
Not the "tears".
Not the total IMPLOSION of the Hillary supporters on this board.
My GAWD, at least have your handlers write you your OWN LINE!!!!!!!
Real "PERSONAL", Hillary!!!!!

Don't wonder why people think her performance was disingenuous when she regurgitates what her rivals say on the PREVIOUS DAY!

4. I have to ask the Hillary supporters: Is she ready for primetime? |
|
This environment in the primary is gentle by comparison to a general election. If she does so poorly in these small states, how does she expect to win against a committed GOP? She looks washed up.

7. I'd suggest you watch the video clip |
|
and judge for yourself whether or not she was using it as you suggest.
98% of her riff was pure Hillary --so why take four words out of it and blow it up?
"It's personal to me" is a common enough expression. Especially ya know --when you're talking about stuff you feel personal about.

She saw the effect that Edwards had with the line, and thought she'd up the ante.
She obviously blew it.

that the 'audience' believes Edwards.
That's not true --some do --maybe even most in an audience.
I don't believe him. I look at his past and in squaring it with his present just have to shrug.
I find him to be disingenuous.

11. Maddie, this is exactly the problem |
|
People have so little faith in her ability to be genuine that the focus is now: was she sincere when she cried? She has 0 ability to get her message across. I haven't seen her message anywhere on TV. I've seen Mark Penn, I've seen her staff resigning, I've seen numerous gaffes (the Putin and MLK ones for example), but nowhere can I find a message or purpose.
She is toast, regardless of whether she is nominated.

17. She said he's soulless. She tried making a joke about Putin |
|
but she said, since he is ex-KGB, he is by definition soulless. Regardless of what anyone thinks of Putin, he is supported by 70% of his own people. That was one of the dumbest gaffes I've ever heard. Can you imagine her joking Blair is a poodle? I think he is, but would never insult his country by saying it as President.

as she has. She is not running as the young fresh new voice, but the seasoned, experienced veteran. More to the point, why is Clinton acting like an attack dog against a Democrat - when he hardly hit Bush in 2002 or 2004. Very unPresidential.

This is valid...Yes he has brought "Blackness"( Oprah) to the campaign so has his wife... YOU can't deney that. So Again I ask other than Being The first Black President...WHAT^ SOLID recored does he really have? In contrast to the other candidates... Why is it he can or his supporter use this as an advantage...but when somebody poses a valid question...you are a bigot.. I've seen so pretty Fucked question re: Hillary! And that's OK! But...The obvious..is ...would a white 46 year old Brand New Senator...with a very lacking voting record...have this much hype? you know the answer. you just don't want to talk about it.

Right. Everyone knows that being dark skinned is a TREMENDOUS advantage in today's America.

He is benefiting from his natural charisma, which the other candidates LACK.
Hate to say it.
But it's true.
The others LOOK good.

Have you gone to the library of congress...done a search on ALL three or whom ever and really compared...? If you have then I would hope you recognise the HUGE contrast in SOLID work for change and where they really separate from each other. I did. And I'm here to tell you. Obama has done NOTHING in comparison to Hillary..and She is MORE progressive.
As far as the black thing...I have many many black friends I hang out with and work with...this is a subject we have discussed many times...Especially when Obamas wife makes statements..to the effect You have an obligation to vote for him BECAUSE he is black...Not on his merritts...I am not the only one who has said...heard...questioned...this.
Good luck with who ever you are rooting 4

I think her message was good but why try throwing punches too. It wreaks of desperation and opportunistic sleaze.

51. That raised my suspicions |
|
that it was an attempt to come across more softly, since Saturday night revealed the angrier side of her personality.
As far as the tears go, I'm not so convinced they were real, she did sniffle a bit though. I think the episode was contrived to show her is a softer light. If I were Hillary I would be crying about the million Iraquis who were killed in a war I voted for. That's ample reason to make anyone cry. Then she might get my votes, but not because she wants to be president so bad that it makes her cry.
