Anyone observing the 2016 election cycle who also possesses a functioning brain stem (and I assure you, there are a great many people observing the 2016 election cycle who don’t) knows that some candidates and comms shops excel at relating to voters, and some don’t. Some attempts fail harder than others…but nobody—and I mean nobody—fails as hard as Hillary Clinton when it comes to offering proof of humanity.

Legal Insurrection needs a “painful” tag, just for moments like this:

I can’t wait to hear her make a compelling argument for, say…calm between two nations maintaining a presence in disputed border territory in the Middle East?
