Is there a coffee table book called "Platitudes for Every Occasion?" If so, Hillary definitely owns it. Worse, she seems to have been consulting it as her primary political guidebook since 1999. It's sad that a woman who based her earlier career thinking boldly about policies and taking ideological risks has been positively boring, cautious, and predictable ever since she first became a candidate for the Senate.

Even on a new media platform like Twitter, Clinton's statements are still as rigid as an old-style direct mail pamphlet.

Really?

I guess Hillary didn't get the memo, but it's not exactly the policy statements that have set the world on fire for Trump and even Sanders. It's the fact that both of them always seem to be talking and especially Tweeting in a natural, real, and definitely un-sanitized way.

As academic and social critic Camille Paglia noted earlier this week, Mrs. Clinton's campaign messages and operation seem "slow and heavy," and like the "admiral of a bullion-laden armada of Spanish galleons, a low-in-the-water easy mark as they creak and sway amid the rolling swells."
