The woman who made Hillary Clinton cry [cue the violins]
Politico ^ | April 21, 2015 | Michael Kruse

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — Seven years ago, the last time Hillary Clinton came to this state trying to be president, a woman asked her a question here in a coffee shop.

“How do you do it?” Marianne Pernold Young said.

It felt at first like a friendly throwaway. It wasn’t. It cut to the core for Clinton. Her eyes got teary. Her voice got shaky. Her answer, uncharacteristically emotional, made news, but the trigger was the question. It was the key question back then. It is the key question still now.

“I wanted to know her,” Young said Monday afternoon at her house, “as a woman.”

It was Jan. 7, 2008, the day before the primary. What happened at the Clinton campaign event at Café Espresso would be seen as a moment when Clinton’s candidacy grew briefly stronger because the candidate seemed momentarily more vulnerable. But it also was a revealing interaction between two working women, from the same generation, both of them complex mixtures of ambition and concession....

Young continued. “How do you, how do you … keep upbeat, and so wonderful?”.....

The 13 words you can’t write about Hillary Clinton anymore "....these words are now off the table: "polarizing," "calculating," "disingenuous," "insincere," "ambitious," "inevitable," "entitled," "over-confident," "secretive," "will do anything to win," "represents the past," and "out of touch."

The thinking here, of course, is that these kinds of words are attached to Clinton in a way that they wouldn't be attached to male candidates -- that people wouldn't call Clinton "ambitious" if she weren't a woman, that there is a double-standard for such traits."....

It sounds and looks like Hillary wants the door held open for her.

I remember that little episode, and I will NEVER believe it wasn’t a contrived stunt. That hag emotes for one thing and one thing only: her own aggrandizement.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!

(Handler to Clinton through earpiece) "After the 'gushing fan's' words, pause for five seconds of reflection, pop vial of onion extract while wiping eye, then proceed with 'spontaneous emotional moment' on my cue. Are 30 seconds out from show time. Remember the 'concerned for the people' look."

Good Lord. The person who wrote this is a "journalist"? For real?!

CBS - Aug 6, 2002: Big Girls Don't Cry

"On September 28, 1987, when Rep. Patricia Schroeder announced she had decided not to run for president, she burst into tears and said, "I couldn't figure out a way to run. There must be a way, but I haven't figured it out yet." Political women spent a long time defending those tears, but behind the scenes they were mortified.

Much has happened in the past 15 years, and while no woman has made it to the White House – or even into the presidential primaries – women candidates have figured out a lot. They know how to raise money, how to run a campaign and how to handle the brutal give and take of modern politics without dissolving into tears.

But there are still stereotypes, both positive and negative, about women candidates. Voters begin by thinking women are more honest and caring than men; they also wonder if women have what it takes to hold political office. Strategists planning campaigns against women often use a one-two punch. Republican consultant Linda DiVall says that the "first thing opposition campaigns try to do is to tar a woman candidate's integrity." Then they exploit the idea that the woman is incompetent.

As the 2002 campaigns unfold, we are beginning to see some textbook cases of how to attack women candidates and how the candidates are working to deflect these attacks.".....

........Women have strengths beyond money and political consultants. Attacking a woman can be tricky, especially if she is sympathetic and popular.......

That leaves Hillary out in the cold.

Fat bottom Rodham deleted her core.

The only time this witch probably has come close to crying was when she lost the nomination to Hussein Obama. She probably doesn’t have enough of the water in her to squeeze out much lest she melt. That’s a real bummer for witches so I hear.

More likely the lamp (or a book) was launched across the room at Bill.

She probably learned the trick from Slick Willy, who showed how to cry on cue at the Ron Brown funeral.

Good one.

The Clinton’s are totally scripted.

It’s just that Hillary has no acting talent.
