I know this has probably been posted before (can't find it on first two vid pages) but I think it's worth re-posting due to the possibility it MAY (if she gets nominated) be looked back on as one of the single most important moments in the determination of the next POTUS.

As well, this particular YouTube vid describes it correctly as "tears up". It's the second most viewed of many postings on the event with about 250,000 views. The most viewed, with 500,000 views, titles it as Hillary "crying". The youtube poster of that video is an obvious bush-bot.

2. You didn't catch it 'till now?

3. It just doesn't live up to the hype.

Hell, I "tear up" like that when I tell people about the America I believe in. :cry:

7. No, it wasn't the "crying" that was described, but it WAS a significant moment...

...up here in the Great White North the CBC did a little post-NH primary coverage on it, and they interviewed many people in New Hampshire. Several of the woman they talked to cited the "teary" moment as being the catalyst for making them vote for Hillary.

Showing that you have a human/vulnerable side does wonders for your appeal.

Perhaps that's why there was such a strong condemnation/backlash against it. Her enemies watched it and recognized it as a threat.

5. I agree. It was almost nothing.

The MSM were the ones who went wild with this. I don't think she had any idea that such a slight bit of emotion would result in anything.

She has her calculating moments, but she isn't a magician.

4. ...an embarassment to all women I know in leadership positions.

8. Welcome to DU.

Free advice for you: try not to make nonsensical insults against Democratic candidates for a little while.

9. That's hardly a breakdown.

I seriously doubt if it was staged or put on.

Getting passionate about our country is in no way a weakness. Females are socialized differently than males, and are more likely to cry in front of others.

11. Clearly you are not in a leadership position. n/t

13. What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

I know we're all supposed to be accepting and non-accusing to new members, but when they post shit that is so far out there I can't help just asking - WHAT THE FUCK"

:wtf:
