In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton possible vice presidential choices [View all]Dawgs
(14,755 posts)1) Just under 6 out of 10 people don't like her, find her untrustworthy, or to be a liar.
2) Millennials don't think she's any better than the Republicans. They also aren't connected to the party.
3) Bernie supporters, Democrats or not, don't like Hillary. She may get most to vote for her against Trump, but most isn't good enough. She will need all of them.
4) Independents don't like her. They prefer Trump or Bernie.
5) Republicans desperately want to be in the WH again. They will hold their nose and vote for Trump or Cruz over Hillary. It's not even close.
6) She doesn't inspire or create enthusiasm ... compare to Bernie and Obama, or even Trump.
7) She doesn't offer any plan or message for the future. Obama had one of hope and change, and Bernie has one of economic equality.
8) She's part of the establishment. That's not a good place to be in 2016.
9) Much of her message is to be the status-quo President that will continue Obama's Presidency. Not very inspiring when all Republicans, almost all Independents, and quite a few Democrats want big change now.
10) She's not a very good candidate. She keeps things (speeches, etc.) from the public that make her look like she's hiding something. Her and Bill get unnecessarily angry when confronted. And, she changes so many positions on issues that it's hard for people to figure out what she really believes.
