OK, Bitches. I'm Back!

[Divernan]

196. Would you call Hillary a little sweetiepie? Because that's a diminutive term

And the latest is that she wants to be called a tough mother. On the other hand, a preview of her speech tomorrow from her staff is that she'll handle corporations by "coaxing" them.

The cognitive dissonance is so thick in the air tonight.

Seriously, doesn't she have someone to screen the various spins so they are not contradictory?
Right hand meet left hand/too many cooks/who's in charge here, and so forth.
You can't make this stuff up, and to prove I'm not making anything up, here are the links:

Why Does Hillary Clinton Want To Be President?

"SNIP...............
Clinton’s staff believes this is where the campaign will be won or lost—it will signal to voters, and to ideologically driven Obama donors, that she’s every bit as committed to their cause as Eliza“Clinton’s big speech will be a rare opportunity to change that narrative. It will be held at New York’s Roosevelt Island—a none-to-subtle signal that she’s aligning herself with FDR, the boldest of Democratic presidents and the one who established the deepest personal connection with voters—something Clinton has struggled to do throughout her three-decade career. And she’ll do so with a broad progressive agenda, her advisers told me, studded with policy proposals to be unveiled in greater depth in a series of speeches this summer, starting with an ambitious plan to cut student debt and lower tuition and a program to coax corporations into paying their workers more.

Hillary Clinton is One Tough Mother
One Tough Mother
Hillary Clinton’s campaign is going to sell her as a fighter like no other.
By John Dickerson, Slate
Tough mother. That’s both the theme of Hillary Clinton’s big speech on Saturday and the emerging theme of her campaign.

Does no one in her campaign have a dictionary?
"coaxing corporations"? COAXING ?!?

Yeah, the masters of the universe heading corporations & financial institutions just need a little sweet talk . . . . Because, you know, when they are battling head-to-head with corporate takeovers, or renegotiating union contracts and the like, all those movers and shakers, members of the One Percent, etc. rely on those 3 credit MBA programs they took titled: How to Coax, or Coaxing 101, or The Role of Coaxing in Corporate Governance, or Turning on the Charm for Fun and Profit.

And golly, what a super strategy for HRC to use when confronting the head of a hostile government, or telling the Joint Chiefs what to do. Not to mention dealing with recalcitrant GOP majorities in the House or Senate.

Here we have an early indicator of the quality of advisor putting together her campaign strategy - addressing the problem of appearing progressive without pissing off or otherwise alarming all those multi-million dollar donors. We'll just use the term "coax". Yeah, that's the ticket!

And furthermore, since the term is defined as gently urging and flattering, cajoling, pleading, etc., it's a gross insult to a woman candidate. Hey, just use those old feminine wiles! What's plan B - bat one's eyes?

When you coax someone, you try to convince him gently, with pleasant words and maybe a little flattery. You’ll have to be patient, as you can’t rush someone
