It’s time to “soften” Hillary Clinton’s image. Gotta soften that baby right up. Can’t have any hardness around.
At a time when many voters say they don’t trust Hillary Clinton, her husband sought to soften her harder edges.
I have an idea. How about she just transitions, instead? Wouldn’t that be a lot easier?

As someone who has occasionally found cause to criticize Sen. Clinton, it’s not her ‘hard edges’ that has ever worried me. If anything, her ability to shrug off the slings and arrows of her detractors is one of her most attractive traits to me as a candidate. It’s the big, orange-topped crybaby who I would be worried about; his underbelly is so soft, he calls for his lawyers at every vague detraction.
If she were “softer” of course they’d all say she could never be effective because the Big Boys and the foreign Bad Guys would walk all over her and ya gotta be tough to take on the job of POTUS yesireebob.
There’s no winning that game.
That’s being a woman in a nutshell.
Whilst I agree with the hard vs soft distinction being utterly useless and gender-stereotype perpetuating, why did you have to make a pointless and flippant joke about trans people?
Dan @ 4 – The joke wasn’t about trans people.
Furthermore…the fact that you think it was emphasizes the problem (the one the joke was about). Gender stereotypes are not an issue that concerns only trans people.
justinr, actually, Tim Kaine has a good record on progressive issues. I’d say picking him was choosing substance over style.
