28. She sucks, she's terrible, she has creepy friends but I might vote for her

Sun Apr 12, 2015, 11:31 PM

Apr 2015

God knows, I've voted for crappy candidates before. I've even voted for a crappy candidate named Clinton before.

I'd love to have a more attractive alternative, but I could be convinced that Clinton would be acceptable.

But she won't do it with glossy, overproduced media spectaculars, and she won't do it by spouting platitudes and generalities. I want to hear what she proposes to do and I want to hear it without weasel words like what the definition of is is.

As much as I disliked Bill Clinton, he was able to be convincing without saying anything he could be pinned down on. I like Obama a lot better, but he's the same way. Hillary Clinton just doesn't have that gift. She comes across as insincere and unconfident and it makes it hard to buy anything she says.

She'll have to sell me on herself. I'm skeptical, but isn't that the way it should be?
