Completely agree. The media keep hyping her, of course, because otherwise they'd have to be hyping Joe Biden, and ain't no mediot got time for dat. Hillary's recent appearances have shown her looking like an unmade bed, and she is supposedly just a couple of years on from the "brain surgery" or whatever it was that delayed her Benghazi testimony. She was never inspiring, and she has aged into the perfect picture of the hectoring mother-in-law nobody wants to invite for the Holidays. Added to that, her core age-group, the '60s and '70s "activist generation," is easing into retirement, and a little too tired to put up the gawdawful fuss they made during the Bush presidency. Hillary! has become a punch line in search of a constituency.
Per this article, Hillary’s sell-by date was 9/11/12.
Your post 33 rings true to me. Ronald Reagan pulled off what he did (and it was admirable) by his wit, political philosophy, jovial and likeable personality, and, when required, dignified presence. Hillary has none of these attributes. She has no wit, no discernible political philosophy, a totally repulsive personality, and she looks just shop-worn.
The American electorate, to be sure, as a group, comes across as unbelievable stupid and gullible, but I don’t think we’ve reached the point at which they would elect someone such as her.
