"Sen. Hillary Clinton teared up this morning at an event at the Yale Child Study Center, where she worked while in law school in the early 1970s.
Penn Rhodeen, who was introducing Clinton, began to choke up, leading Clinton’s eyes to fill with tears, which she wiped out of her left eye. At the time, Rhodeen was saying how proud he was that the sheepskin-coat, bell-bottom-wearing young woman he met in 1972 was now running for president.
"Well, I said I would not tear up; already we’re not exactly on the path," Clinton said with emotion after the introduction.
Clinton is holding a roundtable discussion with Connecticut women to talk about childcare and healthcare.
When Clinton got misty-eyed at an event in New Hampshire on Jan. 7, politicos and pundits filled hours discussing if it helped her, and Clinton eventually pointed to the moment as when she "found her voice" and turned the corner in the Granite State.
At the time, there was much debate if the candidate’s emotional response to a question — "How do you do it?"" — was genuine or calculated.
Let the conversation begin again…"
– Jason George, writing in The Swamp
A president who cries, regularly, just doesn’t cut it.
And we’ve got appeals to a "NewAge" and our "spirit" and, now, "on the path" is part of her vocabulary? Wrong, wrong, wrong. Let me guess:
Bill Clinton is also her "soul mate", and the "love of her life", right?
Shit, the limiting of vocabulary is one of the sure signs of cult indoctrination. (And the fact so many people – who am I kidding: women – are regularly showing "uncharacteristically stilted and seemingly programmed conversation and mannerisms" just goes to show how far cultish thinking has infiltrated society. Not "everyone says those things" – because they don’t – most people are "individuals", and their conversation reflects that. Only people in the cult/self-help/NewAge matrix are repeating these specific phrases.) Only people who are open to the cult’s viral ideas fall victim to language restructuring through the use of code words.
Hillary Clinton is a NewAge cultist – and a weepy one at that.
