Its such ashame. Going for the highest and most powerful office in the land, its great to see Hillary emotional like this. I think she is viewed as stoic, hard, and cold. Women have always unfairly had to walk this line between exuding too much strength for fear of being called angry, bitter, a b*tch, and showing too much sensitivity for fear of being seen as too weak, too emotional. Its a constant dance for women in positions of power and its a real shame, but this was beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
