Vice President Joe Biden, who still appears every night in who knows how many dreams as the Democratic candidate for president, only this week advised Hillary Clinton to open up on the campaign trail and let her heart show.
In our conversation yesterday, Biden on @HillaryClinton: "My advice to Hillary is just open up. Let them see your heart a little more."

Before any men out there take Biden’s excellent and heartfelt advice the wrong way, note that he didn’t make any assumptions that showing her heart more meant showing her teeth.
A man would never tell another man to smile more, but GOP chair Reince Priebus, in his critique of Clinton’s showing at Wednesday night’s Commander-in-Chief Forum on NBC, committed the sin of noting that Clinton looked angry and defensive.
@HillaryClinton was angry + defensive the entire time – no smile and uncomfortable – upset that she was caught wrongly sending our secrets.

No one’s sure what Priebus has been doing this entire election cycle, but he can stop helping any time.
Douchebag @Reince making me do what I thought was impossible – defend @HillaryClinton against a sexist "Smile Sweetie" bush-league hit.

Tell women they should smile more. That should work out well. Cool job guys.

.@Reince Nothing says "our party has no clue how to be relevant anymore" like its chair evaluating a Presidential candidate based on smiles.

Yes, tell the soon to be Commander in Chief she needs to smile more. Have you ever even been to the Internet before?

Reince was out sick the day the diversity coordinator held the orientation seminar.

Trump didn't smile. Also he never stood up! Is he sick? Seems weak, sick.

It might not seem like a big deal, but someone on Team Hillary is going to run with this before long and … too late.
Actually, that’s just what taking the office of President seriously looks like. https://t.co/Pyn92mesom
