Hillary Clinton Stops Security From Kicking Shirtless Male Supporters Out Of Her RallyWhile Donald Trump's events have been marred by violence, Hillary Clinton's rally featured topless male supporters one with a painted chest which the candidate prevented security from removing.
watch:
The men yelled to Clinton as security was about to remove them, Hillary, theyre kicking us out because we dont have our shirts on. Theyre making us leave because we dont have shirts on.
Clinton responded, Well, you know what? As long as they dont take anything else off. You know, you gotta make split decisions that what leadership is all about. We are a big diverse country. OK, where was I? I gotta admit, it is a little distracting standing up here looking at them. So Im gonna look over this way, and Im gonna look over that way. Im gonna look back there.
Tone matters in a campaign, and it is moments like this one that show that Clinton is having fun while running for president. Compared to the ugliness and violence that stems outwards from Donald Trump to his audiences, Clintons events brighter and less intense. Former Sec. of State Clinton has been criticized for years for not showing enough personality, but compared to Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton is having a lighthearted good time out there.

(2,125 posts)For silently turning his back during a speech. Ray McGovern. When it was suggested she apologize to him
for the cruel insult and the beating, she declined.
But this is real cute. Really. Especially for the part at the end when the two shirtless guys
say they're gonna settle for Hillary!

Any other straws you want to grasp at?

(2,125 posts)Hillary's lighthearted tone towards some shirtless fans is nothing to shout about
from the rooftops. They're on her side so of course she has no problem with them. But
when a war hero stood in silent protest, against American foreign policy, not Hillary herself,
she let him be dragged roughly from the room and beaten and when informed he was a
war hero who had to visit the ER and therefore deserved an apology, she refused.
Zero class. Zero leadership potential. She's obviously narcissistic and if she can't handle
silent, respectful protest, she has no business running for president. She's very pol-
arizing and we had 8 years of that under Bush Jr. Never again.
During primary season especially, it's about looking at a candidate's past actions as well
as current. Moving on (aka not owning one's weaknesses) is a privilege not afforded to
the rest of us, why should it be for her?

(83,728 posts)She's got it and I don't just mean the nomination. I love that she laughs and hugs and will poke fun at herself. She is vivacious and that is what life is about. She will do the job far bettern with some joy in her heart. Two tired old men with doom and gloom their only message. Angry. Always angry.
Thank you, bigtree.
