'Well you don't talk about ISIS with a big grin on your face'http://uk.businessinsider.com/hillary-clinton-smile-jimmy-fallon-2016-9?r=US&IR=T Report from Hillary's appearance on last night's Tonight Show

"They want to see someone who's going to protect us and be strong and tough," Fallon added.
Clinton responded:
"It's especially tricky for women. And it just is because you know there's a lot of serious things. The other night, I was on a show and being asked about ISIS and Iran and I was serious. These are important issues that the country needs to talk about. And the Republicans were saying, 'Oh she looks so serious.' Well you don't talk about ISIS with a big grin on your face. They're a barbaric, evil group that we have to defeat and wipe out. But it is a constant balancing act. How do you kind of keep the energy and the positive spirit while taking seriously what you need to."
Clinton was referring to NBC's Commander-In-Chief Forum that news anchor Matt Lauer hosted on September 7, where both she and her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, discussed national security.

It should be pretty obvious, but some people just don't connect the dots...

which is why so many frustrated RW white males hate her so much.

(31,170 posts)4. Exactly. She has let things go unanswered in the past, but always by choice.
She's not putting up with much crap these days at all.
