10 common objections to Hillary Clinton - and how to counter them

46. Yeah, I'm not sure that list is particularly helpful

I'd guess for someone already favorably disposed towards her it might be helpful. But for folks more "in the middle" it doesn't really answer their questions.

Flip side is that I think one can try "too hard". Look, a fair number of the independent/middle ground voters aren't going to really develop a "trust" in her between now and November. It'd be far better to do a fair amount of comparison to their other choice, with a bit of "just how much can you trust any politician". Because to be quite honest, much of the mistrust in her comes from an active attempt by the GOP over the last 20 years to create that exact doubt about her (or them really). One can point out that NY was fairly happy with her as a Senator and that Obama (a fierce opponent at one point) thought enough of her to appoint her SoS.

But after that, really, you could just ask how they would have wanted her to do things differently that didn't involve 20/20 hindsight. Just be prepared that some thinking folks might actually have fairly good explanations and mostly you'll have to morph into something along the lines of "and Trump would have done those things?".
