She is a less than stellar campaigner. In her three campaigns her polls were highest at the start; they diminished over the course of the two campaigns, resulting in a 2-1 record.
However, in every job she's had, she puts her head down and exceeds expectations. Respect from her opposition starts grudgingly and builds from there, until it is earned. Into the job, her approvals grow.
It happened when she was a Senator and it happened when she was Secretary of State. The crap about OhMiGawdBenghazemailHolyShit was purely about this election, not about her having done her job. When discussed while sober there is wide agreement that she was capable, credible, and admirable.

(1,493 posts)but frankly, that's not what I want in a president. Steady, serious, studious --
Sometimes, oftentimes, I scratch my head and wonder how in the hell an incompetent schmuck can even be a presidential candidate.

On November 8th, I'll proudly cast my vote for her for President of the United States.
