Let me finish with Hillary out there on the campaign trail.
Campaigns are conversations. The candidate talks. People listen. If they like something they hear, they applaud. If the press likes what it hears, thinks it’s significant, it writes it up, maybe even offers a cheer.
It also works the other way. If a candidate says something that fails to get a rise out of the crowd, or fails to impress the press, you can hear the thud, the dull but recognizable silence that fills the air when a politician says, to put it succinctly, nothing, when they staff serenades the traveling media with robo-talk, talking chirps whatever you want to call the verbal excelsior that fills the air but not the brain.
On Wednesday, Hillary Clinton spoke in the words, thoughts, feelings of a real-life human being.
She spoke openly of her personal ambition — to once again live at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
