Is Hillary Trying to Lose?

 

I’m thinking it’s either that or she needs some new media advisors. Okay, it’s not that; she needs some new media advisors. Here are two video clips that demonstrate the problem. Her performance in them highlight some of her worst traits.

The first clip is a speech in front of what should be a friendly audience. She seems to think that her phony “union boss” act will resonate as productive rather than phony. This performance is reminiscent of the phoniness of Hilry talkin suthrn. The second clip is an attempt at replicating Obama’s success on “Between Two Ferns.” This was an unmitigated disaster. It was more or less a roast, and Hillary demonstrated her paucity of wit. Zach Galifianakis was actually pretty funny (There, I said it!). I’m pretty sure his outreach to millennials was far more successful than hers. Sweet revenge for Bernie fans, no doubt.

Is there any amount of debate preparation that can help her overcome her deficiency in engaging a national audience? Is it possible to either hide or enhance Hillary’s personality?

    genferei:Between Two Ferns was a triumph – Politico tells me so:

    … check out the latest episode of “Between Two Ferns.” Clinton’s appearance on the web comedy sketch show, which posted Thursday, shows the Democrat at her silent best — it was quickly hailed by critics as one of her most successful interviews, and the candidate who struggles with articulating a coherent positive message didn’t even say much.

    This is heavily ironic. Right?

    Answered my own question by reading the linked article…and no. Politico actually thinks that was successful.

    Dang.

    I had to rewatch these after reading BDB’s link to an article about her health. It makes me think, her eyes-half-closed posture in the Ferns segment might be so that her eye problems aren’t as visible?  She keeps her eyes down or sidelong through most of the spot.

    And around 3:56 in the Ferns bit there is a quick shot of her and she seems to be having a head tremor – yeee-ikes.

    Of course in the top 50-points-ahead video she is eyes-wide-open to the camera, and no tremors. In fact her total demeanor is opposite that of the Ferns segment. Is it a difference in medication level?

    Different settings on the emotion chip.

    That reminded me of this:

    “He’s started early.” – bah ha!

    Morituri Te:I also liked her answer about Trump’s marriage vows: “I couldn’t see or hear very well.” That’s way too evocative of “Can’t breathe very well” and “Can’t stand very well.”

    I thought exactly the same thing. Cringe!

    Matt Bartle: I was surprised at first how often Trump uses words such as love, wonderful, and terrific. He says a lot of very positive things, which is the opposite of how he’s usually portrayed.

    Well, until he is asked about other Republicans, then he immediately turns to nasty.  I hope he starts his PAC to defeat other Republicans.  It would be great to have the President of the United States funding a PAC to defeat members of his own party.

    Reminds me of the old SNL “Weekend Update” skit with Garrett Morris split-screened in the bottom corner of the picture doing “News for the Hearing Impaired” by screaming verbatim everything said by the newscaster.

    Yes “what a triumph”

    That’s funny.

    “her silent best”

    “didn’t even say much”

    “She sat with a bemused expression on her face”

    These were the elements that contributed to “one of her most successful interviews” as “hailed by critics.”

    Of, course, we’ve known this all along. The less she says the better it is for her.

    “Does Ivanka call Chelsea to talk about boys that have a crush on her – like her dad” (your husband)?

    That’s a well placed shiv. I wonder if he ends up paying for it.

    She has no emotions beyond her lust for power.  If Bill screws around and she can play that for votes, she’s fine with it.

    Except for all the women who have come forward, the semen sample, and the witnesses, we have no proof that Bill Clinton strayed. The easiest explanation is everyone in the world is lying but Bill.  — Austin Murrey budding Clinton Speech Writer   @austinmurrey
