This is a woman who is used to manipulating people using her sexual charms.
I can't blame her for that.
If she completely ignored that effect she had on people, if she didn't acknowledge that she was fairly attractive by such methods, she'd be accused of being an ice queen.
I think she's wholly unqualified for the position the Republicans are running her for, but I cannot really fault her for her personal approach to dealing with people
The thing about being an attractive man or woman is that socially-speaking it is a double edged sword.
Some people are going to gravitate toward you because you are attractive.
Some people are going to dislike you for being attractive.
And no matter what you do or how you act, a LOT of people are going to assume that you not intelligent and vain because you are good looking.
That is exactly why a lot of attractive people are often thought aloof and stuck up., ya know.
Puberty hits, and suddenly their very attractive or very unattractive lives change because the world treats them so differently.
They eventually become shellshocked by that treatment (both the good and bad treatment) and retreat from people to protect themselves.
I don't expect people who are unattractive to suddenly feel sorry for those who are attractive, but know that it's not exactly the bed of roses many think it is.
Like being tragically ugly, being tragically beautiful can be a real pain in the ass.
Basically, being far off the bell curve in ANY way, can be very hard on those which fate saw fit to grant that difference.
