Society has created the unrealistic idea that a president should be a “magical leader” who never makes mistakes. In practice, no such magical leaders exist, but the expectation that presidents should be magical means that we turn against potential leaders when we discover that they, like all people before them, aren’t magical.
Her cautious approach to the media allows opponents to define her by caricature, While Hillary’s cautious approach may have avoided “gaffes,” it has also made it hard for her to define herself and allowed her opponents to define her by caricature.
No magical leaders actually exist. They just don’t. Every time you get close to someone presented as magical, you discover that they are flawed like everyone else. They make mistakes. They have superficial understandings of important issues. They give speeches written by other people.
Real progress is made by organizations, not magical leaders. The role of a leader isn’t to make good decisions, or to understand things, but to oversee the creation of an organization that can make good decisions and understand things. Good leaders hire the best people, make sure they have a consistent vision, delegate each problem to the person best able to solve it and make sure that decisions being made are consident with each other.
We expect presidential candidates to be magical leaders, and turn against them when we realize they aren’t. This is the reason why there is so much anger about things like Benghazi and wrong stances Hillary took in the past. It’s because it reveals that Hillary isn’t a magical leader, just like nobody is a magical leader. Donald Trump has never held a government position before, and so we can still imagine that maybe he might be magical.

Why do most conservatives and Republicans despise Evil?
What I found telling about this article is the comments section. The majority of respondents understand why Clinton isn’t liked. “she is a common thief, corrupt, deceitful and crooked to her core”, “BECAUSE SHE IS A LYING CROOK”, and “She appears to be without a soul at all.” are a few of the reasons given.
People aren’t buying Newsweek’s line of apologetic crap this time...

Do we have enough bandwidth?
......except Donald Trump. He must be a "magical leader" who never makes mistakes.
Because i is so easy to hate the bitch. She oozes evil from every pore. Anyone that loves good and hates evil, hates Hillary Clinton. Inversely, everyone that loves evil and hates good loves Hillary Clinton.
This is one of the worst articles I have ever read.

The article, as summarized by this ridiculous statement, should win an award for the most ignorant and desperate attempt thus far to explain America’s hatred of Mrs. Clinton.
Hard to say which rag is more anti-American, Time or Newsweek.
Fox Butterfield is that you?
Has newsweek absolved Nixon and the Bushes of all real, imaguinary and assigned character defects?
Just let me count the ways!
Ha!! I’m a little concerned... it took 10 posts until you nailed it.
If I am physically able, I WILL travel to and WILL piss on her grave.
So they are admitting that the magic negro really isn't? Shocking.
Man, they are desperate. They are lowering the bar so low for Hillary in the hope of getting people to vote for an incompetent liar and cheater because “everybody does it.”
I think you forgot the other EIGHTY people who died during the time the Clintons were in Arkansas, and through to their two terms in the WH.
And, there have already been 5 deaths connected with Hillary’s new campaign.
The DemocRATS are the PARTY OF DEATH.
