Hillary breaks down in New Hampshire as her campaign falls apart. Does this remind anyone of the pilot episode of Arrested Development, when Portia de Rossi was "trying" to start crying and Michael calls her out on it? Just wondering.

I'm tired of emotional appeals. She knows that she is a party apparatchik and that logic based appeals will not save her candidacy.
There's nothing wrong with showing some emotion, but it's got to be based on some higher truth. To me Hillary just doesn't have any soul, or to put it another way she can't sense the moment. She is more or less tone-deaf politically, but she is able to mime the right emotions at the right time.
This was pure stagecraft and not even good stage craft. Look how quickly she moves from teary-eyed to clear eyed, she doesn't even have to blink.
Notice that she looks away a lot and smiles at the very beginning of the clip. I don't know what's sadder, that she pulled it or that so many bought it.
