Every fortnight, some functionary from Team Hillary promises their candidate will express more spontaneity, good humor, and other emotions associated with the earth species known as homo sapiens.

It’s hard to be someone you’re not.
Yogi Berra lives on.
Vince Foster comes to mind.
I wouldn’t give up yet. There are rumors that her staff are working on her to be more authentic.
Once she learns how to fake authenticity, she’ll be unstoppable.
Obviously, Carly would have true emphathy for this woman. Sadly, she can sincerely relate to the woman’s pain. Because Fiorina is, what’s the word… real.
An empathy chip malfunction is nothing a system reboot won’t fix.
Commence candidate H-2016 system reboot #2546.
Maybe Max should ask her if she’s cleared her cache?
Better wipe her EEPROM first.
No … not with a cloth.
With a lack of empathy, shrewish demeanor, and a voice that could cut glass, Hillary has certainly earned the title America’s Ex-Wife™.
Jon, I cannot believe that you would buy into the Estonian Robot Hoax. Hillary never used her robot double for anything more than some early road trials, and was advised to make sure the robot double kept its sunglasses on, during the time period that they were calibrating the robot’s the facial muscles. After the fiasco at the restaurant, she decided to retire the idea. The Esotonian programmers had absolutely no clue that Americans were ever expected to make good will offerings at fast food restaurants. The robot has been sitting in a warehouse in a secret location ever since (not known to Bill, for various reasons). She was initially sold on the idea because of the limitations of makeovers, especially in Mrs. Clinton’s case, and because a robot would be able to present a ‘good face’ in public appearances, never tiring and always polite. Also, Mrs. Clinton wasn’t expected to have to make many public appearances anyway, since they usually lowered her approval rating. It was an idea that had a lot of potential, especially for an aging female candidate.
Interesting how some people are put off by Hillary’s fakery and others just don’t see it.
It’s as much what’s missing as what she presents. Good people give off a good vibe, to put it simply, and that’s reflected in the people around them. It’s possible to hide one’s ugly reality, especially given a sympathetic audience and complicit media, but the visible impact of an honest, well-meaning, competent person can’t be faked. Some of us learn to pick up on its absence. I don’t know whether that ability correlates with political orientation.
Oh, and, Hillary was also looking forward to spending more time on her recently discovered passion: “Bingo!”
Nice! Westworld was on TCM a few days ago. I wonder if Hillary will be featured in the upcoming HBO series based on the movie.
And if they hold the reset button juuusst right, she gets more Hispanic voters!
Richard Nixon hated people. He was terribly uncomfortable around them. That’s one reason he installed the taping system: to analyze his interactions with others to improve how he related to people.
He never should have been in politics.
He was elected president twice.
I have to think those who don’t see it are purposefully blind to it. They want so badly to believe the nonsense the Left shovels out that they have convinced themselves that HRC is something she is not.
You could apply this practically verbatim to the Trump phenomenon.
But what Nixon had going for him, in contrast, was that he was a broadminded and highly intelligent person.
I nearly drove off the road when Andrew Stiles and John Ekdahl discussed innovations in exoskeleton technology–a disabled man was able to walk using his brain to power prosthetics–and the danger of pairing these innovations to Hillary’s damaged brain.
Just picture her as Dr. Hillary Rodham Octavius.
