By now, Hillary Clinton is as polished as politicians come. At 69, her hair is perfectly coiffed and colored, her makeup is subtle and her clothes are expensive. A trained debater, educated at Wellesley and Yale Law School, with decades of public life, she speaks well.
In an election that she has framed around temperamental fitness for the presidency, her deliberate comments and careful parsing of words suggest that she possesses the steadiness and judgment required. That is the image we saw when she stood on a debate stage with the far less controlled, more hot-tempered Donald Trump.
Clinton’s public persona is a façade, though a well designed one, held up by her staff, masters of television illusion and a collaborating national media. With the release of WikiLeaks emails, it has become clear that her senior staff questions that image among themselves.

Did a moment of sanity hit the Daily News opinions desk? This is an excellent indictment of why HRC cannot be president.
Her hair is perfectly coiffed???
In my opinion, her hair looks terrible. She looks like she is wearing a helmet most of the time.
Perfect makeup? Again, she looks overdone to me in the department, in my opinion.
Parsing language? That is what Clintons do, in order to stay one step ahead of the law, on whatever latest legal problem they are facing.
It is an op Ed. They gave the author a chance to rebut the paper’s record long anti Trump editorial. Longest editorial in the history of the Daily News.
Speaking of cynicism, in his 2014 memoir, Robert Gates — who had served as secretary of defense under both George W. Bush and Barack Obama — wrote that Hillary Clinton’s opposition to the 2007 troop surge had been based on how she thought her own political fortunes would be affected by taking that position.
For example, Gates described a “remarkable” exchange that he had witnessed in which Clinton, speaking retrospectively, “told the President that her opposition to the [2007] surge in Iraq had been political because she was facing him in the Iowa primary” and could not afford to be perceived as pro-war.
What an appalling woman. Go away.
As Oliver Cromwell said to the rump parliament: “Depart, I say, and let us have done with you! In the name of God, ....GO!!!”
The more she bellows that she is “sick and tired” the more I believe her that she is, indeed, seriously sick...and very tired.

Great article
“Her concrete achievements are hard to name, which is why both Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, at her Democratic National Convention, were reduced to describing her as an “agent of change,” and not the author of any particular accomplishment or significant legislation in the Senate.”
Money quote. Well . . one of many.
Excellent article!
Oh that the elitists would take their collective heads out of the sand and realize just how very dangerous and wrong she is for leading this country. I pray her downfall is swift and those who defend and support her are exposed as well.
Great!
To hell with that old gasbag Hillary Rotten Clinton. That old bitch has no business trying to be President of our USA.
In the header, they state that they had a commentary negative to Trump a while back, the longest commentary in the paper’s history. This was the opposing view written by a woman.
It’s a remarkable document the way it is written and the frankness it exhibits.
I don’t have time to read it right now, but I will come back and save it and the Trump hit piece to see them both.
In fairness, I back Trump, but a well written hit piece against both is a very enlightened way to explain the issues to readers.
I don’t know the paper’s policies, but this represented it well.
I encourage folks to read it.
Her hair is perfectly coiffed and colored ... her makeup is subtle ... her clothes are expensive ... She is held up by her staff ...

"Is thought" isn't good enough. Documents, please.
WOW is right! I know it’s a long shot, but as a former New Jersey boy, it sure would be sweet if the witch loses New York.
