IS THIS PRESIDENTIAL?

Much ado has been made in the media over Hillary's breakdown after the news of her gigantic slide in the polls. She teared up, complaining about the stress of the campaign. A couple of "undecided" voters were quoted as having been swayed by her display of emotion.
We at BloodRedState can't help but take exception to this sort of behavior. Is this the way we want our President to act under stress? Are matters of state to be interrupted by bouts of crying and whining for relief? Hillary, in her campaign's one moment of intellectual honesty, has demonstrated a singular lack of ability to be our nation's Commander-In-Chief.
Before this piece is labeled as sexist, let us clarify that Hillary's sex has nothing to do with this. There are many strong capable women in public office, the military, and the private sector, who deal with intense stress as a matter of course. This is to be expected in positions of responsibility. Do we really want this nation's most important office to be staffed by someone incapable of dealing with this level of stress? The answer is obvious.
