Hillary’s Tears
About ten years ago I attended a series of communications courses with senior executives of major US companies. The course, presented by an internationally recognized behavioral sciences company, teaches executives how to communicate with managers and customers. NASA uses the process to assemble shuttle crews. Besides CEOs and executives of Fortune 500 companies, graduates include Bill and Hillary Clinton. The company is based in Little Rock, and the director has known the Clintons for many years.
During the first class, attendees are given a questionnaire, which is designed to evaluate the students’ behavioral and communicative profile.
After completing the testing and evaluation process, I asked about BS detectors. I explained that, while Hillary Clinton presents herself as an emotionally-connected and compassionate woman, I sensed something less than compassion in her. I asked the director, “Where did Hillary Clinton rank in emotion and compassion in your testing?”
The director smiled, looked down a moment and replied, “Almost non-existent.”
Hillary says that the presidential race is very personal to her. I believe that much more than the fake tears that she could not release. Bill’s just a better actor.

What blather. You discount that Hillary is a Clinton through and through. The most gripping moment of this election so far came in Hillary’s speech this evening when she said “Over the last week I listened to you, and in the process I found my own voice.”
There are several telling facts that should be brought to light. Hillary was down in the polls anywhere from a point to 13 points, and the MSM you so love to denigrate had practically written Hillary off. But she connected with suburban women, held back at precisely the right moment and transformed her fears and concerns into strength and determination right before your eyes.
Awfully presidential acting if you ask me.

I spent a lifetime in public service in the US and abroad. I’ve known heroes and have booked felons. It will be a good day when the Clinton machine returns to the swamp they crawled from… and it will be fun to watch them go there…

Horseshit Rock! Political timing does a “Presnit” make.
