After she left the stage and was going down the meet-and-greet line, her big black “handler” was behind her at all times. It wasn’t long until I noticed her left eye wandering off kilter (as has been seen in the past) and she started the exaggerated facial expressions and head rolling and bobbing, same as at the end of the Dem Convention on stage with Bill as the balloons came down. Huma rushed up and started hurrying her along at that point.
Al Smith dinner in NYC. Typically softball. It’s where McCain basically conceded to Obama in 08.
Would be interesting if Donald broke tradition and dropped some rhetorical nukes.
Plus would it be the first time she’s in public with Trump on back to back days?

She was obviously trying out “toughhillary.exe,” but after Trump brought up Wikileaks and the DNC’s orchestrated violence at his rallies, she slowed to a crawl. She started bobbing her head, rolling her eyes, and the monotone she answered in was in stark contrast to her angry mom voice. She was nearing that trance-like state, which is perhaps why her black handler (“Just keep talking” guy) was immediately with her after the debate. She walked very carefully before and after the debate, even holding on to the side of the stage at one point. No one else did this but her, and she wasn’t even descending the stage.
The looks on her face post-debate were bizarre. While she greeted someone I thought she was crying, or about to burst into tears, but then her face widened into that “Wow, balloons!” expression. Really weird.

What are r and K?
This site asks for your help in promoting the idea that our political ideologies evolved from r/K Selection Theory in evolutionary ecology.
In evolutionary ecology, r and K describe two fundamental psychologies seen in nature, designed to adapt an organism to either a glut or a shortage.
Rabbits are r-strategists, designed to exploit free resources, like fields of grass. The five psychological traits inherent to the r-strategy are docility/conflict-avoidance, promiscuity/non-monogamy, single-mom'ing, early sexualization of young, and no loyalty to a competitive in-group. All help this glut-exploiting psychology to out-reproduce everyone else by avoiding danger, mating widely starting young, booting offspring early to mate again, and never risking for others .
Wolves are K-strategists, designed for when resources are too limited for everyone to survive. The five traits of a K-strategist are competitiveness/ aggressiveness/protectiveness, competitive mate monopolization/ monogamy, high-investment two-parent rearing, only mating when mature, and high loyalty to one's competitive in-group. All these traits either help you win when you have to fight, or produce and protect fitter offspring, so they will win in a dangerous world that culls the weak.
Our political battle is one between a glut-exploiting r-reproductive strategy of rabbits designed to produce raw numbers and a shortage-surviving K-reproductive strategy of wolves designed to produce quality. The swings between conservatism and liberalism at the societal level are not the result of logical argument or reasoned debate. They are the result of psychological shifts produced by perceptions of K-stimuli in the environment such as conflict, danger, and shortage, or r-stimuli, such as safety, pleasure, and abundance. These perceptions trigger ancient mechanisms in the brain that adapt psychology to environment. All of politics and much of history are r vs K.
Please consider helping to spread this theory by telling others about this site. As you can see by the shocked 5 star reviews on the book's Amazon page linked above, this idea, and the science behind it, blows people away when they see it. And best of all, it will utterly demoralize and crush any leftist you describe it to, in unbelievable fashion. This idea's beneficial effects on our governance and our freedom cannot be overestimated, if it can only spread.

Yep, she was worn out.

Exactly! That crazy wasn’t it?
