8. She Compared Her Potential Presidency To A Beyonce Performance
I am always making pop culture references, so I feel a little hypocritical by saying it’s embarrassing when Hillary did so, but it was just really off base. In yet another attempt to appeal to young voters, Hillary Clinton said, “I want to be as good a president as Beyoncé is a performer.” I really get what she was going for, but she doesn’t need to make pop culture comparisons in order to appeal to younger voters. She could do that all on her own. It seems silly to compare what is arguably the most important job in the world to being a pop star. I see what she was trying to say, but it just didn’t make her look like a serious candidate in that moment.
