In reply to the discussion: the LIKABILITY of Hillary Clinton (considering some of the crap we are hearing these days) [View all]mercuryblues
(14,531 posts)Hillary is a woman who has had friends since primary school and her college days. An unlikable person would not have a group of friends for over 50 years. She never had a high turnover rate of employees. IOW she created great a work environment and people stayed with her for years and they still correspond with her, as evident in her released emails. You don't normally do that unless you like the boss.
I have found her to be a very humble person, when she succeeds, she always says it was a team effort and named people the went above and beyond toward the common goal. What I took from her recent campaign is that she is uncomfortable tooting her own horn and when others compliment her. Maybe that is the result of hearing nothing but negative spins and outright lies about herself in the media for decades.
I will admit that I did not vote for her in the 2008 primaries. About a week or 2 after my primary I watched a debate between her, Obama and Edwards. I immediately wished I could take my (Edwards)vote back and vote for her. Then the shit hit the fan with Edwards and I was pissed at myself for voting for him.
Has she made mistakes, yes. So did Obama n his campaigns and those were not held against him by Democrats, yet hers were.
She dared not to sit down and shut up.
