Is she ‘likable enough’? (If she was, they wouldn't be asking the question)
The Washington Compost ^ | 09/23/2016 | Marc Fisher

The real Hillary Clinton — the funny, kind, passionate woman her friends and colleagues insist actually exists — has been missing from public view for so long that even some of her most admiring defenders wonder whether she will ever emerge again.

On the eve of the first presidential debate, Clinton’s campaign is launching a drive to convince voters that she is, well, human. The move, coming just six weeks before the election, is a frank admission that whether it traces to her embarrassingly public marital traumas, or to the arrows aimed at her during the White House years by conservative activists and news reports, or to a lifetime playing the role of the serious, responsible daughter, sister and wife, Hillary Clinton still struggles to be even “likable enough,” as candidate Barack Obama put it during the 2008 campaign.

“It is something that we’re aware of, and it’s a gap that we are seeking to eliminate at all times,” said Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon. “Every week, we are rolling out a new video introducing people to somebody that’s gotten to know Hillary Clinton in a personal capacity.”

lol

Her own husband doesn’t even like her!

Would rather get with a chubby than lie with that hag.

I think she is probably VERY likeable and compassionate to people that have power and money——or people who can obtain HER more power and money.

am not sure that I actually believe that PIAPS is alive. I think she may have died on 9/11/16 and the democrats are using a double. PIAPS was a Soros puppet anyway. That probably puts me in a group of about 9 people

Hillary actually died years ago in that plane crash that was covered up.

There has been a double in her place for years. That double is getting sick, so they have a new one, which everyone saw recently. (that puts me in a group of one, so far)

The Clintons have been on the national stage for a quarter century now.

She’s been a controversial unlikable personality that entire time.

Do they think they can turn this around, with six weeks until the election?? They can turn this around in six weeks, when they were unable to do so in 24 years previously????

Good grief. You need to add “Barf Alert” on the headline.

Does any one really believe the BS in this article, that she keeps in touch with all these people she meets out on the trail?

My life experiences have taught me that whatever a person was as a kid, they will most likely still be in later years. Example: Young hippies wind up being old hippies.

Regarding the subject at hand, Hitlery today is unethical, dishonest and will violate any rule or law she can as she was as a young person.

I wouldn’t give up on PA yet, I’ve been seeing tons of Trump signs and new ones popping up all the time. He has huge support in blue collar Dem areas here. The kicker will be is if we can overcome the urban areas, where the Dems have a stronghold of voter fraud.

I have more belief in a sighting of Bigfoot having a Yeti, the Loch Ness Monster and Elvis' clone over to his cave for a game of Texas Holdem.

She’s as warm as a sidewinder rattlesnake with shingles. But she don’t feel good.

My current favorite dark joke: Slick has made plans to have Hillary buried 12 feet below ground when the evil burns out.

Deep down she’s really likeable.

I made up a (non-Hillary) joke:

A guy went to the archery range, and the range master said, “I can’t let you shoot until you try my wife’s cupcakes.” The guy ignored him and picked up an arrow. The range master grabbed his arm menacingly and said, “Don’t nock it until you try it!”

“”” “Every week, we are rolling out a new video introducing people to somebody that’s gotten to know Hillary Clinton in a personal capacity.””””

How about some comments from the Secret Service who have known her from waaaaay back -—in a very personal capacity?
