Hillary Clinton is One Tough Mother

[JDPriestly]

38. When did she win?

She lost when she tried to win on healthcare.

She is still having to answer their stupid charges about her telephone and e-mail accounts and her "Benghazi" whatever.

I think she is making a big mistake with this tough gal approach.

But we shall see.

People see in Elizabeth Warren a fighter for the middle class and for fairness. I think Hillary is trying to grab that image that has made Warren so popular and run on it. We shall see how effective this is.

What Hillary may not understand is that the kind of toughness and righteous anger that has made Warren so beloved comes naturally to Warren. Warren doesn't make her money by giving speeches at $20,000 a pop to Wall Street. Warren's life and her claimed views and the things she fights for are consistent with her image as a tough but motherly woman.

So far this image of Hillary as a "tough mother" doesn't work for me.

I think she needs to demonstrate that she has a sense of humor and can relate to people well. This does not do it for me.
