There is something about Elizabeth that many people find unappealing. These same people would probably say she was a very competent economist and numbers cruncher.
Maybe it has to do with Liz being seen as a first class NAG,
an angry schoolmarm, a wannabe Indian, and not a whole lot more. This, after she drank beer on a video -straight from the bottle! She still didn’t really connect with the little people.
Yes, she tries to sound angry and militant, fired-up and aggrieved, but her voice reminds people of an annoying, condescending schoolteacher or college professor.
There's a crying, pleading note in her voice that makes people impatient and maybe uncomfortable.
Some politicians can combine a message with a very different style of delivery, but it doesn't work for Liz (or as Howie Carr calls her, "Granny").
The fake folksiness doesn't work either.
schoolmarm is exactly it.
She’s every teacher that hated my guts, k-12
I see what you are saying, I’d call it her persona. Watch and listen to her for a few minutes, and regardless of what she says or does she will not connect.
