46. She looked...
Thu Feb 4, 2016, 12:07 PM
Feb 2016

distracted or peeved at moments. She's getting bad coaching on the strategy of out-progressiving Bernie. She should be forthright and stress electability.

Hillary is very smart and very experienced, but not instinctual as a politician. She's not good at hiding it if she is annoyed or feeling disdain for the process. In an odd way, that makes her authentic! Most of us would be that way! She will beat Bernie if she just stays on course and doesn't erode her credibility by trying to scoot to the left of him.
