(42,862 posts)I never knew a lot of these things before coming here. Previously, I just didn't like him instinctively. I felt it in my bones... my hair would stand on end letting me know that he's not the one for me.
I've known people like him in real life (vaguely similar appearance, almost identical demeanor and tone and gestures and attitude) and I didn't like any of those characters either. The people I knew were very off-putting. In my opinion, that's really not the quality that makes for a good leader, a good listener, a good negotiator.
If you want your political adversaries to concede something for the greater good, then you'll need to be willing to concede something as well. If you hope to convince them to concede more, then you'll have to be adept at being able to convey a message of understanding and appreciation to bring out whatever goodwill may exist in the opposite side.
An uncompromising and demanding "my way or the highway" attitude will only stiffen the resolve of the other side. Nothing gets accomplished, and being able to pat one's self on the back while bragging "I stood firm" is a small consolation for accomplishing absolutely NOTHING!
Of course I "want it all" ... but I'm realistic and practical ... I'd rather have something better (even if it's not perfect) than to have nothing.
A small piece of pie on my plate is better than an entire pie in the sky... unreachable... and before anyone CAN reach it, it's crashed back to the ground and splattered everywhere. (And that means NO PIE FOR ANYONE, except the ants.)
Go, Hillary!
