Anxious Dems urge Clinton to open up
The Hill ^ | September 9,2016 | Alexander Bolton

Posted on 09/09/2016 5:46:27 AM PDT by Hojczyk

Democratic senators, anxious over Hillary Clinton’s inability to pull away from Donald Trump, have some advice for their nominee: Be more open, show your soul, focus on the economy and talk about blue-collar jobs.

Recent polls show Trump within striking distance of Clinton, defying predictions in Washington that he is doomed in November.

Trump’s ability to stay competitive while running an unconventional campaign has underscored what Democratic lawmakers see as the need for Clinton to improve in certain areas. These lawmakers, who served with Clinton in Congress and have known her for years, say her public persona is too guarded.

They struggle to reconcile the charismatic, warm and funny woman they know in private with Clinton’s public persona, which can come across as stern, aloof or annoyed.

Democratic senators say it’s natural for Clinton to put up her guard because she has been the target of Republican attacks for decades. But they think she might benefit from relaxing a little more on the campaign trail.

“Her decades in this arena have taken their toll,” said Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.). “When you’re hit a lot there’s almost an unconscious shield that controls the answers to your questions. I think she’s got to get rid of that and just let herself be.

“Everybody that knows her, loves her. They know her heart is full,” she added. “That’s what she ought to do, just take the shield away from the heart.”

Vice President Biden offered similar advice earlier in the week, calling on her to be “more open.”

Clinton has had the most difficulty connecting with white working-class voters. A nationwide CNN/ORC poll released Tuesday showed Trump beating Clinton among white voters without college degrees, 66 percent to 23 percent.

Many of these voters question her trustworthiness.

When threatened, she can throw a hissy fit. And when the pressure is on, she is going to melt. Should be an interesting finish to a long race. Cough, cough.

Be more open, show your soul, .....

When what is supposed to be your soul is the gateway to a pitch black bottomless pit that eventually ends in the fires of hell, that's not something her constituents want to see, frankly.

That's a yuuuuge part of her problems, Senators; she's showing far too much as it is.

Hahahahahaha

The more the public sees of Clinton the Lowe she polls.

She can’t “pull away” because she doesn’t have and can’t get any more support. She’s got a ceiling of the low 40s. That’s it.

Only way for her to win is to keep Trumps support down...because she cannot get over the low 40s

More she’s seen the lower she drops from her functional max.

The problem with that is that when she does she lies, Sir Edmund Hillary, the Marines, law school, sniper fire in Bosnia and on and on.

She must be reminding them of that singing frog in the Warner Brothers cartoon. When it is time to perform in front of an audience, she simply croaks (or coughs).

Only JESUS can take the shield from HILLARY’S heart.

2 CORINTHIANS 4:7

We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.

Be more open, show your soul

Hillary baring her soul?

That would create a 57 state landslide for Trump!

You know what’s funny?

A year ago, Politico ran stories of GOP congresscritters fear Trump would lead them to a Goldwater-style debacle.

Now it looks instead like Hillary will lead the Democrats to a McGovern-Mondale-style debacle and anxiety and fear are gripping Hill Democrats.

Trump is well on his way to a win and this story is more confirmation of it. You don’t have to look at the polls to know Hillary is a terrible candidate.

Nothing the Democrats do will turn Hillary’s numbers around because no one wants to vote for her - the enthusiasm isn’t there.
