This could raise some hackles at first.

Did me anyway. Still feel it is worthy of serious consideration. I’ll post the last paragraph to sooth the read down to it…

Some Sage Advice for Hillary Clinton
By Froma Harrop
February 11, 2016

“…Hillary, the voter demographics in the coming primaries and caucuses are more favorable to a candidate like you. But you still must replace some of your caution with from-the-heart fire. Open the doors and windows of the lamentably labeled "Clintonworld" and send the hangers-on packing. The more you are yourself, the better you will do…”

1. It's a very good suggestion.

I want to see Hillary giving personal anecdotes and talk about real people she has met. Then she should show how she felt inside -- angry, sad, helpless, how she reached deep down and brought out the strength and courage because she didn't want to let those people down.

Being a great lawyer means one never shows strong emotions and stick to the law. However, the most successful lawyers win juries over with emotions.

Hillary is great with facts, policy, intellect, specifics -- but it will help her connect exponentially more if she shows she is all that plus a fragile human being with vulnerabilities. She is losing women because they don't think she is a woman anymore! She can get them all back in droves.

2. I agree.

She might feel as though she’s experiencing a pincher attack between the Reps and the Bros. Any difference eludes me.

5. Doesn't raise any hackles with me. I'm all for more fire from our candidate, but the media will

translate that into "shrill" and "coming across unstable".

The U.S. Media are NOT friends of We the People. We need to remember that in everything we decide to believe from them. We need to always take that fact into consideration when they gin up support for a weaker candidate - all Republicans and Sanders - while trashing Hillary Clinton through subtle words and phrases.

6. Hillary has to be more careful than anybody else

She speaks up--she is yelling
Her wardrobe picks are laughed at (she wore a bathrobe as one example)
She shows her intellect and she is too calculated
She shows strength and she is too cold or wooden
She shows her human side and she is pandering
Her relationship with her husband is ridiculed (she obviously wasn't giving him any as an example)
And on and on

No-one faces the malicious, sexist scrutiny that Hillary Clinton does. Keeping in mind how she constantly must remain more self-aware than anyone else--she is obviously working harder than she is given credit for. This only adds to her qualifications as far as I am concerned, and impresses the heck out of me. How does she manage? I wouldn't be able to resist verbally tearing off more than a few heads!
Wow! She is incredible!

7. My hackles stayed up!

The campaign will sort itself out as we go along, but I accept and approve of Hillary Clinton just the way she is!

Advice to be someone else may seem "wise" if you think that would get a few more votes, but this is just what the media and the VRWC would need to validate their narrative!

Just be the best candidate you are - and let the chips fall where they may.
