Intellectual people may be entirely like that and think like you.......however, does that really describe the average American voter? Or potential voter? I have a healthy fear of Hillary. It would serve us well to take her seriously.
I take her very seriously. The concern should be proportional to the threat, and the threat to the Republic if she becomes POTUS is great.
But she is not, as some on this forum posit, invincible. She has eminently exploitable weaknesses and few real strengths. Her biggest strength is the organization that she and Bill (mostly Bill) have put together over decades. That organization has protected her and given her the aura of invincibility which has gotten her to this point, but she can’t hide behind it forever, as the debate showed. Crack that armor, and she has very little left. She’s corrupt, rigid, inexperienced, unlikeable, her ideas are out of the mainstream, she has an offputting air of entitlement, and most of all she’s angry. Very angry. The only thing Hillary has going for her is her campaign organization, which is unparalled in scope. But get her out from under her handlers, and she’s clearly out of her depth.
And while most people probably won’t articulate why they’re uncomfortable with her in the intellectual way I have done, they feel that there is just something not right about her. Her 50% negatives attest to that. Even most devout libs don’t like her, but they support her because they believe she can win. Take away that aura of invincibility, and Hillary folds like a house of cards.
