This feels like an attempt to humanize her. Up to now she’s been known as a calculated personality with no actual human qualities like warmth or compassion. But if she’s shown to be at least vulnerable once in her life, it panders to that element in our culture that regards depression as a sign of emotional depth and capacity. Which she has neither of, and anyone watching her over the years would know that.
That was my thought. She's heading into Iowa and NH very soon, and she needs to hold on to the "Vote Vagina!" part of her base, the ones whose primary motivation to vote for her is that "it's a woman's turn." Many of the sucker moms have had their own bouts of depression, and this is another way of saying, "I'm like you."
Bernstein has never done the Republicans any favors, why would he do so now? Considering the extremely low defection rate of Clintonistas (Arkancide looms large), I find it difficult to believe that Bernstein has found enough kiss-and-tellers from Hitlery's inner circle from her First Lady days. More likely, he's just being used as a tool by the same campaign that manages to plant its own operatives both at Republican debates, and at Clinton campaign appearances.
The Witch knows how to manipulate the minds of the sheep, who among us wouldn't put it past her that the so-called 'hostage crisis' yesterday was engineered by her henchwomen?
