Hillary Clinton has lamented the "tyranny of the selfie," but even she has to admit they have their uses. As the Iowa caucus quickly approaches, Clinton has been working to connect with potential voters by appearing more natural and personable. Oftentimes, that means pictures are involved:
[Clinton] talked about the snow in New York and her granddaughter, and she helped an older woman snap her first selfie. "Here, I'll show you, it'll be fun!" she said, grabbing the iPhone and extending her arm. [The New York Times]
When Joseph Miller, 13, of Vinton, squeezed his way to the front of the crowd to ask how Mrs. Clinton would make college affordable for his generation, she crouched down to tell him face to face about her "New College Compact" and why it is different from Mr. Sanders' plan."I'm not going to take care of rich people, O.K., I don't want to give them free college," she said. "My opponent's plan is to give free education to everybody." Joseph stared blankly and then said, "That's good with me."Mrs. Clinton asked, "Want a selfie?" [The New York Times]
