Is she ‘likable enough’? (If she was, they wouldn't be asking the question)
The Washington Compost ^ | 09/23/2016 | Marc Fisher

Posted on 09/23/2016 5:08:06 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

The real Hillary Clinton — the funny, kind, passionate woman her friends and colleagues insist actually exists — has been missing from public view for so long that even some of her most admiring defenders wonder whether she will ever emerge again.

On the eve of the first presidential debate, Clinton’s campaign is launching a drive to convince voters that she is, well, human. The move, coming just six weeks before the election, is a frank admission that whether it traces to her embarrassingly public marital traumas, or to the arrows aimed at her during the White House years by conservative activists and news reports, or to a lifetime playing the role of the serious, responsible daughter, sister and wife, Hillary Clinton still struggles to be even “likable enough,” as candidate Barack Obama put it during the 2008 campaign.

“It is something that we’re aware of, and it’s a gap that we are seeking to eliminate at all times,” said Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon. “Every week, we are rolling out a new video introducing people to somebody that’s gotten to know Hillary Clinton in a personal capacity.”

Hillary is untrustworthy, unlikable and unpopular.

No one wants her. More Americans believe in Bigfoot than believe in Hillary Clinton.

Hillary is done.

She’s as likeable as a rabid wolverine.

Should a woman exhibiting multiple personality disorder be running for President?

In the literary world, Dr. Hyde was eventually taken over by Mr. Hyde. "Nice Hillary" might be gone for good.

Don't you think you are being a bit unfair? Rabid wolverines aren't *that* bad!

She’s as likable as John Kerry and Al Gore. They were likable enough to get nominated...

I saw the graphic that said only 14% of people believe in Bigfoot which is fewer than believe in space aliens. I find that pretty weird.

More people also believe in ghost than Bigfoot which is just as strange.

I am not sure that I actually believe that PIAPS is alive. I think she may have died on 9/11/16 and the democrats are using a double. PIAPS was a Soros puppet anyway. That probably puts me in a group of about 9 people

Asking whether she is likable "enough" implies that she is likable at all. The obvious answer seems to be "no" on both counts.

“It is something that we’re aware of, and it’s a gap that we are seeking to eliminate at all times,” said Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon.

It seems to me that the best way of eliminating the likability gap is to, you know, run someone who's likeable. Oh well. Better luck next time, guys.

I’m convinced Trump is going to win. He is picking up a LOT of toss up states now and this is BEFORE the debate on Monday in which I believe he is going to expose Hillary like an atomic bomb.

Look at these percentages now, remember these are toss up states, either or:

Florida is neck and neck: Trump 45% Hillary 44.9%

Georgia: Trump 45.2% Hillary 40.5%

North Carolina: Trump 43.5% Hillary 41.7%

Ohio: Trump 45% Hillary 43.2%

Iowa: Trump 46.3% Hillary 40%

Arizona: Trump 40.4% Hillary 38.2%

Nevada: Trump 42.8% Hillary: 40.5%

In Pennsylvania Hillary is ahead by 6 points which baffles me. The woman said to the state of Penn. that she is going to eff up their economy, and STILL she is ahead? What are they drinking there?

Viginia she is ahead by 6, Michigan by 6, Wisconsin by 5. New Hampshire by 5.

All these numbers prove to me it is anybodys race at this point, and I really believe after the debates Trump is going to pull away and be elected.

Oh yeah, and BTW, if you want to know how much changing the demographics of a state makes a difference, take a look at California: Hillary is ahead by almost TWENTY points over Trump: 51.3% to 32% She wins this election you can expect that to happen to EVERY state! Remember, California is a state that voted for Nixon, Reagan twice, and Bush one once. That will never ever happen again, the state is basically a foreign country now which is why almost all the most wanted in LA are illegals..
