I don't know if she can or will recover, but the rest of your post was spot on.I think she can recover from this.
If it was a guy you could go ahead and engrave his political tombstone with the words "He Cried". Male politicians are only allowed to cry as a sign of patriotism. Anything else is weak and unacceptable.
If a male politician cries, it had better be for a good reason. If it is for a good reason, he's suddenly a "man of the people" who "feels your pain" or is "compassionate" (do those key words sound familiar?). If is isn't for a good reason, he's weak.
If a female politician cries, it was obviously a)"that" time, or (b)the "change". Either way is a no-win situation regardless of the absurdity of it all. Regardless of the truth of the matter...whatever the truth may be...she's "weak".
