What I perceive, however, it someone who has come across in her public utterances during the campaign the way the really cool girl in high school disparages people she decides she does not like. It is a Hannah Montana kind of thing, in that the really cool girl influences the more impressionable peers, but when you get past the superficial personality criticisms, there really is not much there about the character or value of the person being criticized.

Sadly, it works in high schools. How much sadder should such rhetoric, with nothing else of substance, be viewed as among the better qualities of a potential leader.
