Morning Joe Crew Doesn't Care For Shouty Women In Politics

How they always attack Hillary Clinton.

Bob Woodward was on Morning Joe today talking about Hillary Clinton, and in the course of the conversation he said, "I think a lot of it with Hillary Clinton has to do with style and delivery, oddly enough. She shouts. There is something unrelaxed about the way she is communicating."

complain how Bernie shouts. It cuts both ways. Now you don't like it, yesterday we didn't like it. It's nasty stuff.

They didn't have microphones back then. How do you think he was able to be heard by 5,000 people?

Why do you hate Jesus?

They do not really think she shouts. They are using a straw man argument to draw attention away from Hillary Clinton's message and to tarnish her. It isn't about really hating her speech delivery it or disliking Bernie Sander's speaking style it is a form of belittling her and stopping the listener from believing in her message.

12. When Bernie shouts its natural, when Hillary does it it sounds forced, its not sexist

People just don't like how Clinton sounds so rehearsed. Shouting works for some people not others.

A good example of shouting actually working is Jennifer Granholm's DNC speech in 2012. (Skip to 4:17)

Shame she was born in Canada, she would be a good vp.

An example of shouting not working in men -> Christie everytime he speaks.
