They started making the case against Hillary for President on the day Bill announced his run. There are people who raised their children to know that Hillary was going to run fo President one day and they needed to be ready to vote against her and save Amurika. That was the main reason I didn't want her as our nominee, in either 08 or 16. And while she's very good at the job part, and is a really admirable, smart woman she's not a natural at campaigning. She never seemed really comfortable.
