Tears and Fluff

There tends to be much dispute over Hillary Clinton's tears in yesterdays events. Some believe that her tears were just; she was showing compassion and genuine care for our country. This not only shows that she cares for the United States, but is also committed to making changes. However, others believe that this cry was either fake or just a breakdown; she is upset over how the election is going, and she couldn't control it anymore. 

For me, these tears did not work. Instead of feeling sorry for her or sympathizing, I felt annoyed. I feel that this was used as a desperate measure in order to get attention and let the U.S. see her soft side. It all felt too fake for me and quite unnecessary.  I believe that if she can't handle this kind of pressure now, then how will she ever if she elected president? There are much larger worries and concerns when being president, and one must be able to stay calm, focused, and rational when such times arise-Hillary has some work to do.

Talking about Hillary's tears also brings me to my next point. Much of this campaign, I have been trying to learn more about each candidates position and more about who they are; however, it has been quite difficult analyzing these because much of what they say is "fluffy." Have you noticed that most of them never really like to tackle certain issues or questions directly? I believe this is because they are all being careful not to lose any voters and attract many more. Each candidate wants to sound perfect; as a result, they all sound quite fake. Now I realize that this is quite normal at this time in the election, but I am looking forward to seeing and hearing more genuine truths and answers from each candidate.
