Smart

Everything the woman does is scripted and planned to the last detail. If that is what clinched NH for her, then what a performance.

RE: Smart by gnifyus :: NR7

I don't know, I usually tend to think in the same cynical way, and so I'll admit the possibility it was all contrived did cross my mind when I saw the news broadcast. I have to say though; there was something about this one that seemed real at second glance. In this particular case, if that display of emotion was an act, then I think we are all in trouble because her power to manipulate much of public would be almost unbounded. When watching the video I'm struck by the possibility that maybe Hillary started out genuinely choked up, and then played into it a little more when she sensed it was working. Who knows? We'll have to wait and see if the "emotional card" gets played at future opportune moments.
