Jon Stewart perfectly diagnosed the problem with Hillary Clinton’s candidacy

"Hillary is ... a bright woman without the courage of her convictions, because I don't know what they even are," says Stewart — an assessment I have heard time and again in private conversations with Democratic strategists over the last few years.

While Clinton's closest allies insist she is warm and funny in private, the candidate has never been able to translate those character traits into her public persona. People want Hillary Clinton, but all they ever get is "Hillary Clinton."
