"It humanized her"

[question everything]

From a story in the WSJ:

Yet the incident also provided a rare window into the emotions of Mrs. Clinton, who seldom veers off script and has faced criticism for lacking authenticity. Some voters might sympathize with her for a human reaction to what she saw as an unfair attack, other analysts said.

Democratic political consultant Steve McMahon, who isn’t aligned in the race, said the exchange would only humanize Mrs. Clinton.

“If you believe your opponent is lying about your record consistently and maliciously, this kind of a reaction is perfectly understandable and perfectly natural,” he said.

1. I like that she is a calm smart person

and exhorts love and kindness

but I also like that she has some BITE in her!!!

[BlueMTexpat]

2. Amen to that!

I hope that this whole incident backfires in a VERY big way. As it should.

3. She has been way too calm and positive. I've would have snapped a long time ago

[JSup]

4. I'd have gone full postal...

...with the kind of abuse she takes.

It's why I'm so quiet; I have a terrible temper and I don't want to make myself a target which would cause me to lose that temper.

6. Welocme to DU JSup

5. It is extremely rare for her to stick up for herself. I'm glad she did so.

She's said in the past that it would take too much time away from actually getting things done to bother responding to every false thing said about her, but many people don't bother to look into the attacks, and seem to believe it must be true since she doesn't speak up. It's a very fine line for her to have to walk, I would be much less patient than she is.

7. yes! And everyone else is allowed to walk around angry!

and that is seen as cool,

while she is constantly smeared on, condescended to, belittled and hated on!!!

I like that after all this she is basically a happy person but puhleeze!! She deserves respect like everyone else.

8. She has the perfect temperment to be both the POTUS and CiC.

And the best thing about her, politically, is once people get to know her, they quickly realize how much they have been misled about who she actually is. She really is a great example of everything a public servant should be.

[Her Sister]

9. yes yes & yes!

She is the complete package!
