Press pans Clinton's authenticity 'reboot'

The announcement from Hillary Clinton’s team that their candidate would try to be more spontaneous and authentic has prompted a less-than-kind response from the press — some said it’s the “stupidest” thing her campaign has done yet.

Clinton’s aides “want to show her humor,” and they “want to show her heart,” the New York Times reported Monday, suggesting that the move comes at time when the Democratic presidential primary has become slightly more competitive. The so-called “reset” also comes as the scandal surrounding Clinton’s private State Department email server continues to dog her campaign and take its toll on her standing in the polls.
