Look, I don’t want to question her motives. Perhaps, Hillary’s latest show of emotions was real. Perhaps the stresses of the campaign trail have gotten to her. Perhaps she didn’t script this one.
However, I just want to place her latest tear-fest into context.
Hillary has been trying to shake up this race ever since she stopped being inevitable.
First, it was "experience"
She began this race speaking of her superior "experience". She bashed Obama for being "naïve and irresponsible". Apparently that didn’t work. It had become clear that the American people were hungry for change.
Then, it was "change"
So, Hillary became the "agent of change". She proclaimed that "you have to have the experience to bring change". She said that she was "Ready for Change, Ready to Lead". But that didn’t work. What she didn’t understand is that, American’s don’t just want to have a change in policy, they also want a change in personnel.
Then, she trashed Obama
She sent Shaheen out to question Obama’s "drug-dealing" past. She sent Mark Penn out to bring up "cocaine". And she sent out Bob Kerrey out to bring up the "secular madrassa". None of these attacks gained any traction.
Afterward, she had the "likeability tour"
After those attacks things didn’t work, she went on a likeability tour. She launched a website, with videos from her friends telling us about the "Hillary They Know". Didn’t work. She still lost by 9 points in Iowa.
Now, she’s crying...
Hillary has been trying and trying and trying to do anything to gain traction. And nothing she has done has worked. Can you blame anyone for questioning her motives for crying, one day before the voting in New Hampshire begins?
NOTE: SHE ATTACKED OBAMA WHILE SHE WAS CRYING. So.....Color me skeptical.
