Modern media is a funny thing.

You can spend an hour carefully laying out your core beliefs, your history, your vision for an entire continent of people - and all anyone will really be talking about the next day is a 4-second gif of a facial expression you made. This is the fate that has been visited upon newly-minted US Democratic nominee for the White House, Hillary Clinton. [caption id="attachment_304988" align="aligncenter" width="4469"]

Hillary's surprised reaction to the spectacle really is a wonder to behold. https://twitter.com/johnthebolmeier/status/758871505413353475 https://twitter.com/Tweet_Dec/status/758908852754526208 Truly, it's the gif(t) that keeps on giving. https://twitter.com/thejulielogan/status/758980242606137345 It can mean whatever you want it to. https://twitter.com/Herdotie/status/758910391715979264 Especially when it comes to talking about being drunk, on drugs or just generally mad-out-of-it. https://twitter.com/J_Manasa/status/758943754904412160 https://twitter.com/neontaster/status/759018833092849668 Thank you Hillary.
