Just heard that Andrea Mitchell overheard Bill Clinton say that “He couldn’t make Hillary younger, or taller or a male” in response to why she was lagging in the polls...he forgot to mention “likeable”!!!

Apparently he's also pointing his accusative crooked finger on the negative press and the GOP bombardment she's withstood for 15 years. Hey Bill, she got a pass with the (tough, ha) NY press believing she was fully vetted and all the hype couldn't fly once she stepped onto the national scene - even the hype that bringing you out will do wonders for her campaign. Seems all your "masterful" campaigning for various candidates these past years have fallen flat.

Agreed. Her “listening tour” nonsense, and pre-arranged questions and such simply cannot stand in a Presidential election. Bill can campaign all he wants, but he can’t change that people don’t like her, don’t trust her, and she’s managed to do squat in her two terms in Senate to be a leader or even a major player. What worked for him is impossible for her, because she has none of his charm, ability to schmooze, or even show an inkling of warmth or passion for anything, she has two modes - mind numbing, boring drone, or shrill harpy.

I think the biggest factor their campaigning cannot overcome is the most serious - i think a lot of people, deep down, know that she’s incapable of dealing with the serious issues the world has to deal with moving forward, with terrorism and a shifting economy and increasingly fragile diplomacy. I think people know if she’s elected, all of that will be ignored in favor of even more polarizing nonsensicl social changes and programs, and that the terrorists WILL strike during her reign of terror. Commander in Chief? Laughable idea at best. We’d be seen as the weakest we’ve ever been, and they’ll line up to attack us.
