Hillary Clinton

I must admit, while I do not hate Hillary, I greatly dislike her. To me, she represents old political machinery that is pragmatic, measured, and ultimately gutless. Much like her husband, she seems to be willing to say anything and do anything that will score her points with the voting public. Her days as first lady do not really help her image either, as the disconnected and controlling wife behind the scenes, unelected and distrusted by the American public.

Ultimately, for Hillary to win over the American public, she must be able to frame herself as being too great of a leader NOT to elect her. It is obvious that people will not like her, period. And if she tries to be too likable, she will not be herself. Instead, she must accept her image problem, and run with it.
