Clinton’s Open Mic
Don’t you love it when microphones are left on? We get to see what politicians are really thinking. This conversation between Hillary Clinton and John Edwards was captured recently following a debate amongst the large field of Democratic presidential candidates.
Hillary says that the other candidates are “just being trivialized.”
Trivialized: –verb, cause to appear unimportant. (Thanks Dictionary.com)
I don’t think the other candidates appeared unimportant at all. They were making great points. I think Mrs. Clinton was the one who was made to look unimportant. She feels threatened by truth.
If I was in her shoes, and felt invincible, I would want a million candidates around me so that I can show that I am the best. By her saying she wants less candidates around, it means she wants less competition. If you are clearly the best (in your mind) why do you want less competition?
She can’t handle the heat?

Clinton and Edwards secretly converse and Clinton gets blamed. Anyway, the second tier candidates are gettingt trivialized. Look at the news, and the blogs. People don’t see Dodd or Kucinich as a serious threat and they think Gravel is a joke. What she said was true and what they were talking about is a good idea, but the open mic is a rookie mistake. Do you really think 60 seconds is enough to effectively explain deployment out of Iraq?

By the way, I happen to agree that more candidates benefit Clinton.
