(6,409 posts)"To be is to do -- Socrates. To do is to be -- Sarte. Do be do be do. -- Sinatra." That's sometimes attributed to Kurt Vonnegut, but he may have picked it up from graffiti. Anyway, Clinton will become whatever she has to do to be elected. If her pollsters tell her she needs to appear stronger on terrorism, she will express genuine glee when recounting the death of some al Qaida guy, while softening the blow by expressing genuine sympathy for his wife and children who died in the same drone attack. And these emotions will not be fake or insincere. One gift of a good politician is the ability to really believe whatever needs to be said to please the voters. This is why I like Bernie Sanders over Clinton. I'll still vote for Clinton, of course, if she is the nominee.
