If you really are the person you seem to be you don’t need an “image.” Your image is a reflection of the real you. But if you are hiding something horrible under an “image” you need somebody to continually shape the wet clay into an acceptable image. Hillary’s problem is that she really is something horrible. She can never be “herself” or spontaneous because people would shy away in disgust. You can see that she is continually on guard not to let the mask slip. It must be exhausting.
You hit it right on. You can just see the anger boiling below the surface of the bi**h.
