Vox’s Jonathan Allen: ‘Warm and Fuzzy’ Doesn’t Work for Hillary Clinton

‘She is not warm and fuzzy’

 BOLDUAN: "You know, Clinton insiders, they say that the voters are going to see more humor, they're going to see more heart from Clinton. This weekend, we saw a little bit of that. We saw her dancing on the campaign trail in this video from ABC. And then there was this hilarious appearance on Jimmy Fallon. Look at this again."

 FALLON: "Haven't seen you since my last wedding." 
CLINTON: "Well, I'm sure I'll see you at the next one." (Laughter)
 FALLON: "Are you writing all this down?" 
CLINTON: "Hold on. Let me -- let me grab my pen." (Laughter)

 BOLDUAN: "Now, John, I know that's exactly what you say anytime a source calls you. I'm grabbing my pen, which is a nice glass of wine." 
ALLEN: "You know, I actually go for--for Jack Daniels. But yes –"
BOLDUAN: "So, funny there's a lot of alcohol combo tonight in this studio as well. No, this is the Hillary Clinton that folks, they want to see more of. But here is the question. I mean she said in an interview with CBS, I'm a real person. Folks don't normally have to say that. Can--will this last?" 
ALLEN: "Yes. I think it's not helpful for her to be out there making the argument she's a real person. She's not warm and fuzzy. And I think sometimes when she tries to be warm and fuzzy, it doesn't work."
