The New York Times has an article about the Clinton campaign’s attempts to humanize their candidate with
a “warm-and fuzzy tour” to present her as “likable and heartwarming.”
I just traipsed on over to the Clinton campaign’s new corresponding website — The Hillary I Know. The
entire site is nothing but video testimonials of other what a great person she is — how she helped a sick child, encouraged someone with cancer, is a great friend, etc. The entire subtext might as well be a bunch of people staring earnestly into the camera going, “Hey, I was as surprised as you to find out that she doesn’t drive a broomstick.”
It’s downright bizarre that one of the leading candidates for president is so unlikeable that she has to go to great lengths to get others to testify to her basic humanity.
