Society has created the unrealistic idea that a president should be a magical leader who never makes mistakes. In practice, no such magical leaders exist, but the expectation that presidents should be magical means that we turn against potential leaders when we discover that they, like all people before them, arent magical.
Her cautious approach to the media allows opponents to define her by caricature, While Hillarys cautious approach may have avoided gaffes, it has also made it hard for her to define herself and allowed her opponents to define her by caricature.
No magical leaders actually exist. They just dont. Every time you get close to someone presented as magical, you discover that they are flawed like everyone else. They make mistakes. They have superficial understandings of important issues. They give speeches written by other people.
Real progress is made by organizations, not magical leaders. The role of a leader isnt to make good decisions, or to understand things, but to oversee the creation of an organization that can make good decisions and understand things. Good leaders hire the best people, make sure they have a consistent vision, delegate each problem to the person best able to solve it and make sure that decisions being made are consident with each other.
We expect presidential candidates to be magical leaders, and turn against them when we realize they arent. This is the reason why there is so much anger about things like Benghazi and wrong stances Hillary took in the past. Its because it reveals that Hillary isnt a magical leader, just like nobody is a magical leader. Donald Trump has never held a government position before, and so we can still imagine that maybe he might be magical.

Allow me to paraphrase:
"It takes a village to be a President."
What about Baraq the Magic Negro?
Newsweak has been around forever. If they haven’t figured out this answer yet, well, there is no use in trying to explain it to them.

Because she is foul.
Newsweak put in a great plug for Trump right there, without even realizing it. Then then proceed to dismiss him in the next paragraph, not even realizing that they just made a strong case for him.
So what if Trump, an experienced executive, hasn't served in government before? That notion (private citizens serving for brief periods in government) is the very foundation of our American political tradition.
It is the idea that government leaders must be career politicians that is wrong, perverted, and corrupting.
It's really pathetic to see the utter lack of thought that goes into modern journalism. It's just 100% advocacy for statism, its disciples, and its dupes. It's the propaganda of pandering, subjugation, and control.
Hence the hand-wringing about Hillary being terribly misunderstood, when in reality she's just a straight up, breathtakingly corrupt politician. Indeed, Hillary epitomizes everything that's wrong with modern politics.
Vote Trump!
The author is so wrong!
Charles Manson was a magical leader!
Jim Jones was a magical leader!
Adolph Hitler was a magical leader!
Mao was a magical leader!
Kim Jung Un is a magical leader!
But, Hillary is just a million bit money grubbing lying whore, whom smart people recognize as such!
NO ONE. Absolutely no one PAST the second grade level believes the above...
What crap.
Our "unrealistic idea' is that our President should not be a liar, a thief and a traitor to her country...
Hey DNC media - we’re not looking for a “magical leader”. We simply expect our leaders to be honest, live by the same laws as the rest of us, and enforce the laws they themselves passed. It’s not complicated.
We know enough about her to know that she isnt magical.
translation: Better the devil you know than the devil you don't.
Her cautious approach to the media allows opponents to define her by caricature,
translation: You just don't understand her. Trump's a one-man media circus crazy person snake oil salesman with no depth. Danger!
She is a woman.
translation: waaaah!
Popular culture explains the world in terms of magical leaders.
translation: I'm stumped.
No magical leaders actually exist.
translation: She's just human. You Trumpers are engaging in magical thinking. Stop it!
Real progress is made by organizations, not magical leaders.
translation: We're doing fine, no need to clean out the Augean stables just yet.
We expect presidential candidates to be magical leaders, and turn against them when we realize they arent.
translation: Hillary's solutions will work. Trump's leading you down the primrose path. (HRC failure excuse baked in)
Experienced leaders are at a disadvantage because we know enough about them to know they arent magical leaders.
translation: So she's made a few mistakes along the way. Who hasn't? You're setting yourself up for disappointment with an unknown like Trump.
But, I could be wrong.
She is married to a pervert and her closest aid is also married to a pervert. That should give anyone pause to question her integrity not to mention a lifetime pattern of corruption and a pathological compulsion to lie about anything.
It’s not hate it’s cognitive thinking about her
“Organizations” don’t do crap, other than oppress those with real talent and give power to those whose only ability is to scheme and self-promote.
They should retitle this article: “Won’t you please love hitlery? Please?”
It’s so typical of modern liberals to dumb everything down to the lowest common denominator, and to continually lower the bar on the most basic standards.
A true leader is, by definition, magical.
The problem with most people in leadership positions is that they aren’t leaders to begin with, but sycophantic hacks and ambitious climbers.
Hillary Clinton is not a leader, but a coat tail riding grifter without morals, honesty, or a single reputable attribute to recommend her for any job above the grade level of low rank bureaucrat drone.
They are married to beards.
Because she’s scum in human form.
Uhm, because she makes it so easy.
