Her competence is just another thing to hate. To them it shows that she's calculating, cunning, plotting, etc... instead of being prepared, educated, and deliberate.

Just like every time Trump trips over his own feet, his ravening supporters see that as him being real, folksy, unafraid, etc... instead of being uneducated, unprepared, and bullying.

The cognitive dissonance on the right is so intense, I still don't understand how they're not dropping dead of mass brain aneurysms.
