Would you elect someone who cries?

Poor Hillary, I do feel sorry for her, but if she's already in tears over trailing her Democrat rival in the polls, what kind of a Commander in Chief would she make? Would she be able to cut it when the going gets really tough?

Update:

Check the news, they're all saying those are genuine tears.

Update 2:

Doesn't the expression go, "If you can't take the heat...?" Not to say that Hillary has ever set foot in a kitchen...

Update 3:

I'm not talking about her humanity, I'm talking about politics. I'm old enough to remember what happened when Edmund Muskie cried (and I would cry, too, if they attacked my loved ones the way they went after his, but I'm not running for office). The guy was immediately labelled a huge wimp.

    i did not care for that. i think she either lost it or faked it. not what i would expect her to do as a leader.

    Yes I would elect someone who cries. Actually, I'd be really concerned electing someone who "never cries" If you life long dog that you loved got hit by a car and you didn't shed a tear or two, then you got a problem. And I guess you could say the same about a wife and kids (I have neither so I don't know)

    However, Hillary I don't think cries. You have to have a soul to do that.

    I wouldn't vote for someone who has never felt pain. She'll be out of the race in a few days, so we can all stop picking on her. I did my part as much as anybody, and we accomplished our mission. Let's not be sore winners. She blew a 30point lead in Iowa, and I don't know how big it was in NH, but now she trails. Picking on her now can only help her. She knows she's done. You'd cry too.

    I read recently that someone else, who had a big lead at the time did this in one of the primaries and his support melted away. I forget his name but he obviously did not become President!

    It depends on why they are crying.

    Hillary just put the final nail in her Presidential hopeful coffin

    I just watch the video and no doubt, it was planned and staged now, a crass grab for Obama stealing attention.

    Well, everyone cries - and if you say you don't BS. Having said that, I still despise Hillary.

    but...but...it's her dream...for the children (sniff).

    Too little too late. I'm not buying it for a second.

    Have some more pizza Hillary.

    Being in touch with your feelings is not a bad thing.

    No, I wouldn't.

    If you think she's bad now, wait until she drops out completely. The streets will run knee deep with her tears.

    HAHAHAHA!!!!
