Doesn't Play Well...

In the heartland. Only moments after she hit the floor, her adoring and dedicated spin machine raced the story to the AP that she was suffering from stomach flu and feeling "under the weather". This is probably all true. I point this out because it's the first time that a Clinton spin machine has ever raced the truth to the media. Notice how easy the truth plays. There's a lesson there for the Donks.

However this isn't going to play well to the heartland. The hearty and hardy folks that feed us and build our cars and transport our goods and such things don't faint when they have the flu. They do what needs to be done.

I've fast-roped 60 feet to the ground from a helicopter with a (non-contagious)103 degree fever and done three-a-day scuba dives in 40 Degree water while suffering from walking pneumonia to search the bottom of an alpine lake for a sunken boat. If you're sick enough to faint - you don't put yourself out there and endanger yourself or your buddies.

The way this reads in the heartland is: either she's a candy-ass that can't handle a little flu or else she's terribly ill. If she's a candy-ass, then she needs to be kept from executive power. However, if she's terribly ill but continues to press on with her plans even when things are going downhill, then she's showing signs of ....HUBRIS! And we know from last week that hubris is a nasty, nefarious, and unforgivable trait. Last week I learned that hubris is un-presidential. I can't think of anyone less presidential and with more hubris than Mrs Clinton... except Mr. Clinton.

I wish her good health and a long life with her husband. I can't think of a more appropriate punishment for either of them
