Politics is not a game to be played for the fun of it.  It's a tough job which requires one to have the stamina to go the distance without flinching and without showing any sign of fault or failure.  It is a serious job in which a politician comes into contact with many people of many walks of life and one has to be prepared to look, listen and to be aware of the feelings of the people and most of all to be in touch with what the people are looking for in the future. 

There are politics that are played out in this country and politics that are played out upon the stage of the world.  How a politician reacts in the face of diversity or in the face of conflict depends upon the strength of the person and their willingness to stand strong in their beliefs and ideas in concern of the running of this country.  A good politician faces the world upon such strengths and in this gains the confidence in the people for whom they are elected to represent. 

A show of weakness is a sure sign that such a person is not dependable and has no confidence in themselves.  Crying is such a sign of weakness and one that must be avoided at all costs if a politician is serious about the manner in which the people are expected to view them.

Crying is a trick used only by weak-minded women who wish to gain pity, never influence.  It is oftentimes used as a last ditch effort in order to receive sympathy in order to bend a weak-minded man to relent when no other way seems to be working. 

There is no crying in politics but someone should certainly hand Hillary Clinton an Oscar for her preformance in New Hampshire.  However, I remain otherwise unmoved and unsympathic towards her career in acting (or is that the political arena?)
