Female Presidential Candidate Who Was US Senator, Secretary Of State Told To Be More Inspiring

[Rose Siding]

NEW YORK—Citing her lackluster support among young voters, campaign consultants to Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential frontrunner who has served as both a U.S. senator and secretary of state, reportedly instructed the candidate this week to be more inspiring. “Right now, voters are looking for a candidate who stands for real societal change, someone who can stir something inside them,” said media advisor Jim Margolis, urging the woman—who overcame entrenched societal biases to build a successful legal career, became the first female senator elected in the state of New York, oversaw the Department of State during a period of widespread international tumult, and, if elected, would be the first female president in American history—to appear more uplifting to voters. “Many young people have completely lost faith in the political process, and they want to believe that true progress is actually possible. They want someone who embodies progressive ideals.” Margolis added that Clinton was too much a part of the establishment she spent decades breaking down barriers to enter.

3. A powerful, inspirational woman. I think she scares some of the boys in the BS camp. nt

14. The entire panoply of male candidates acts like they're skeered of girls. But that can't be!

It truly cannot be the case. They are all pure of heart and good of intention and oppose her strictly on policy grounds.

Or so I have been told.

16. Personally, I think it's because of the cooties. nt

7. Maybe "The Onion" but pretty much the challenge in reality

OK, so she's got the experience, both foreign and domestic; she co-heads a foundation that addresses real need in the world and tries to alleviate as much as possible; she has demonstrated commitment to women's rights, families and communities (of all kinds) her whole adult life; she is tireless, composed and appropriate as necessary (has proper etiquette and demonstrates real class); gets into the issues in depth in order to fully comprehend and from both an emic and etic perspective needed to advocate effectively for the best outcomes; shows strong family values; has an endorsement list that should impress anyone because she has earned every single one; has a tremendous list of accomplishments; has developed a tough skin and can take on anyone if necessary; has used her connections wisely--to further her goals to help women, families, communities and our country; has faced rampant sexism and obstruction; is known to listen to the people she meets along the way and takes their stories and concerns to heart; and is criticized by her opponent for not having "good judgment" and by the press for not "generating enthusiasm" after being named the most admired woman twenty times now...sigh...sometimes only "god" could fit the must do and be list that Hillary Clinton has to fulfill in order to become POTUS.
And compare all the above to her opponent, and to those running on the GOP ticket.

8. I know- have to rub my eyes too. Add this to your list-

In April 1999, Clinton was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Children of Chernobyl Relief Fund for her support of that Ukrainian organization's efforts regarding legacy effects of the Chernobyl accident.[12]

Someone mentioned that to me in passing and I found the citation at

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton_awards_and_honors

Nearly Forrest Gumpish, the way she's done it all.

10. You mean she wasn't responsible for Chernobyl

You mean she wasn't responsible for Chernobyl

I'm sure the bern bros could try to pin that on her if they could

13. They still might

Being actual-factual is not important to them.

12. An excellent achievement to be sure!

There are too many to list in my tried-to-keep-it-shortish post.
Let's face it--Hillary Clinton has got to be one of the best candidates that has run (so far) for POTUS in modern times. Patriarchists and ideological purists won't have her, though. The greater good would diminish these two groups.

9. Pretty much

11. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if this is exactly what some of the pundits have said in

all seriousness or and Bernie supporters.
