Why Hillary Clinton’s Storytelling Doesn’t Work

Many people have wondered – why is Hillary Clinton so bad at persuasion?

The answer is clear in her latest ad: Hillary Clinton is trying to copy what she thinks people want, rather then being who she actually is authentically.

Recently, she tweeted out:

You never know what you’ll see at a Hillary rally.https://t.co/lDJ8DSSdaU

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) June 1, 2016

With a video of two shirtless men distracting her during a rally. (Video link here.)

Hillary Clinton knows that Donald Trump has framed his rallies as fun. “Is there anything more fun then a Trump rally?” Trump will say every time a protestor interrupts. So she made a clip where people disrupt her rally and tweeted “you never know what you’ll see at a Hillary rally.”

This ad is a total disaster, because Hillary has no idea why Trump does what he does.

Trump’s speeches are frequently disrupted by protestors. At some rallies he can’t speak for more then five minutes without an incident from the crowd. Trump’s “is there anything more fun then a Trump rally?” comment reframes these disruptions as exciting rather then annoying.

Clinton doesn’t suffer from the same disruptions, so she isn’t reframing anything. The two men interrupting her are clearly Hillary fans – they have her logo written on their chests. So the comedy of the ad comes from Hillary being distracted by her desire to leer at half-naked young people in the audience.

What other Clinton does this remind you of?

Trump, like a stand up comic, also heckles the hecklers.

Go home to Mommy!

He couldn’t get a date so he is here.

Hillary has long been a zombie candidate. Death warmed over isn’t attractive.

I doubt she even knows who she is authentically. She’s been living a lie her entire adult life. I suggest about 25 years confined with herself to figure it out.

Oh, boy. That's the LAST thing she wants people to see.

The Donald has been living in the head of Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless, rent-free, for lo, these many months.

Not the best real estate around, but can’t beat the price.

Or the value, as return on investment. Nothing spent, and a daily harvest that just goes on and on.

She has never had a personality of her own. She is like a robot who is programmed to talk. Nothing that comes out of her is genuine. I can’t think of a more unlikable person.

She shrieks and screams, constantly.

Hillary is like her husband: she makes her views based on public sentiment, not on personal conviction. That will make her waffle (insert breakfast place pun here!) on almost every subject.

‘She has never had a personality of her own. She is like a robot who is programmed to talk. Nothing that comes out of her is genuine. I can’t think of a more unlikable person.’

I agree with what you say but I know that Hillary is much more. She is a thief, liar, and a master of all criminal works, from minor to the most major. She doesn’t steal your wallet or purse for the small amount of money the government has left you, she steals billions. The horrible thing is, due to women’s vote, the bitch gets away with it.

The only authentic thing about Hillary is her phoniness.
