Can Harris make you cry? asks @FrankBruni "as I listened to her flat, desultory recitation of her biography and philosophy, I did feel a sense of frustration, and it was familiar. "

She needs to be more emotional, he says today. #Shot
#Chaser: Frank Bruni in 2016. "She peddled uplift, not anxiety. But in 2016, is that the smarter sell? Are prettier words the better pitch? They made for a more emotional, inspiring convention ..." TOO MUCH EMOTION!
smile more! says Bruni
smile less! says Bruni
tell your story! says Bruni
stick to the issues! says Bruni

Seriously, do some reading on male policing of women in politics over the last 3000 years before writing about women and emotion and tears in the paper of record.
We're on day 4 of Kamala Harris for VP and already have demonstrated all the racist and sexist trends of the last 12* (* 3000+) years. Does nobody do some reading before they write?

I remember when Harris spoke about her own history, "That little girl was me." And then Radio Freeeeee Tom said it was too emotional and contrived and fake. There's no winning with these dudes.
