Why Hillary is vulnerable, and what she can do to fix it

[DonCoquixote]

I have already written about what I think of Joe Biden running; the cliff notes version is that at this point, he could only make the party get into a civil war. However, the fact that many are jumping on the idea shows that Hillary, despite the iron drums of inevitability being banged for a year, is anything but. However, there is a reason for that, and one that can be fixed if she chooses to.

Hillary, stop acting like you are invulnerable, because when you do, you only showcase how vulnerable you are. Case in point, the email mess. If she was up front and said "yes I did this" it would have blown over. Yet, just like Bill did when he wagged his finger at us and said "I did NOT have sex with that woman" you set yourself up for a media that would take your little white lie and make it a fiasco. In short, the air you give is "who dares question me" which registers to most Americans as "Do nto dare look at that person behind the curtain!"

I honestly think Hillary is someone that can be natural, can even communicate, but just as in 2008, she surrounds herself with a bunch of apparatchiks and courtiers that want to keep her along THEIR path. These apparatchiks are people who do want want to win at a contest, but try to arrange a contest behind the scenes so that there is no actual risk to their investors. For example, one person that needs to be FIRED is Debbie Wassermann Schultz. She has LOST elections, but worse, works with the Florida GOP as her fiends to ensure that no matter which way the elections roll, she gets her comfy seat and her perks. Now, if Hillary were to fire her and put in a Howard Dean, then what would the conservative dems say? That she should not be ruthless in order to win, and pick the guy who actually won last time he was in? But no, because Debbie is from the wing that must be appeased, as opposed to liberals, who can be pissed on anytime they need to be, Debbie is safe, and just as she was useless to even win in Florida, she will be useless to win the state in 2016, which is a real shame considering even if Jeb loses, he will be helping repeat his 2000 election theft.

1. How is Hillary "acting" invulnerable?

[DonCoquixote]

2. by dismissing issues that are brought up to her

until even the best defense can do more than over half hearted, weak explanations, like the mail scandal, or, like keystone.

3. She's addressed none of those issues an no time? The email or Keystone? tia

4. So all she needs to do to negate the vulnerability is to stop acting vulnerable? Too cool!

In the interest of full-disclosure, I should take this moment to admit I think she's as natural as nylon.

5. stop acting like she has a lot to hide

because by hiding stuff that is not bad, and worse, by staying away from issues like keystone as if they do not exist, she makes herself look much weaker, as if a hit of truth will make her wilt. She needs to confront the elephants in the room.
