I have to laugh when Hilliards try to explain away HRC's unlikability

simply because of the "supposed advantages" male candidates are afforded over female candidates... especially when the bold truth is that she IS unlikable!

Regardless of his gender, I am quite sure that nothing in the world could have made tricky Dicky likable (yet I'm sure that SOMEbody must have liked him ... as hard as THAT is to believe! ) Face facts: some people are just inherently unlikable.

I'm sure there are several possible female candidates who are extremely strong, bold and outspoken and at the same time ARE considered likable.. female candidates who would have NO problem winning over the hearts, minds, and souls of today's youth. Take Elizabeth Warren for example. Her honesty and forthright character is beyond reproach... with inherent sterling qualities of character that are true to her core and are inescapable.

I'm sorry Hillary fans, but there arent too many people I know who find smug, unbridled arrogance likable... especially when someone's self-aggrandizing agenda is so obvious to most sentient beings.

If HRC should somehow fenagle her way into the presidency, I'm afraid her fans are going to get EXACTLY what they deserve and God help us all!

...it's your turn, but your candidate gets beaten by probably the coolest pres candidate in history.

But it's gotta hurt even more when it's REALLY your turn, but your candidate is being beaten by some old unknown Jewish guy who's still SO much cooler than your candidate.

i can't quite explain it except that she acts like she's acting. Her sentences often break in odd and unnatural ways. On the news tonight I noticed "...this campaign is about (odd pause) you!". Bernie has a genuine smile, Hillary has a forced laugh.

Marco Rubio has the same problem.
