Well no (5.00 / 3) (#95)
by jbindc on Wed Mar 09, 2016 at 08:42:55 PM EST
It isn't Hillary's responsibility to help him articulate how he FEELS about her.  That's about him.  No one can change how someone feels about someone else  - you can only change yourself.

He doesn't like her.  I don't think we need to psychoanalyze him or put a burden on HRC that isn't hers.  She can put out plans and a vision - if he isn't in a frame of mind to accept that, then she could stand on her head and spit nickels,  and it wouldn't change his mind.

Nonsense (5.00 / 2) (#96)

It her fault if he doesn't like her.

It's her fault if he doesn't trust her.

Don't you watch tv?

Feelings aren't bad (5.00 / 2) (#104)

And if they are the reason Scott doesn't want to vote for HRC, so be it.

But it isn't on HRC to make you FEEL better.  She's running for president, not as a therapist. She can tell you her vision and tell you her plans, but only you can choose how you react to it.  You can believe hyoe and spin and talking points, or you can do your own research and make up your own mind.  She isn't going to hold your hand and stroke your hair.

I FEEL a lot of things about a lot of politicians - those FEELINGS may change from day to day. But in the end, this campaign is a job interview, plain and simple. Personally, I will be voting for someone who I think can best do the job based on things like proposals and experience. I'm not voting on who will be my new best friend.  

But if you want to vote based on FEELINGS, then that's certainly your right, but then you stand a very good chance that your FEELINGS are going to be hurt, and often.

Maybe why a slogan like (none / 0) (#105)

"Feel the Bern" is more of a turnoff for a lot of us.

Did you see (none / 0) (#108)

The 10 minute teaser of the new season of The Americans that starts next week?

Speaking of TV.
