NPR the other afternoon played the soundbite of Hillary Clinton reading an excerpt from her newest book. She sounded angry as she read her account of an event in the debate with Donald Trump. In her mind, Trump invaded her personal space, but in my recollection of the event it was Hillary who invaded Trump's space. And she planted herself directly in front of him.
In the broadcast of her reading the excerpt, she got very shrill and imagined a scenario in which she turned around and called Trump a creep. Since it was all imaginary anyway, we can imagination how Trump would have responded to that. "You invaded my space, lyin' Hillary."
Meanwhile, her complaint about the space invasion should remind everyone of the campaign in the year 2000 in which she got a tremendous amount of sympathy from the usual sources for an alleged violation of her space by Rick Lazio, her opponent in the Senate race. That was all we heard about for days, and Hillary went on to win the election.
So here she is on that same band wagon about invasion of her personal space. Will her fans buy into that again? Or will they see her as a loser left only with dreams of what might have been?
