Clinton Staffers Forced to Write Instructions on When to Smile


Hillary Clinton is personable — her speechwriters made sure of it. They even wrote her smiles into the script.

If you’re an Iowa voter who caucused for Hillary Clinton, you might be feeling some pangs of regret right now.

According to Clinton campaign chair John Podesta’s emails, published Tuesday morning by Wikileaks, Hillary Clinton had a hard time using the phrase “everyday Americans” as she mixed with the proletariat in the flyover states.

The email, between Podesta and Clinton’s campaign communications director, Jennifer Palmieri (she’s the one who responds, “truth”), is about a campaign slogan, but seems to indicate that Clinton was already worrying, as early as the Iowa caucuses, that she was too scripted and too stiff — unable to sound convincing when she talked about her friends in the corn fields and main streets of middle America.

In some of her speeches, she even had to be told when to smile.

Despite being instructed to smile early in her campaign, Clinton still managed to become the least personable candidate running for president. As an actor, she has nailed the lie, but she still has work to do on emotion.
