34. Maybe they get it from their candidate.

One of the reasons, besides her constant support of Wall Street, that I don't like Clinton is because she comes across as very condescending.

She acts like she knows everything. I'll admit she's smart and knowledgeable of the issues, but when she speaks about them, she acts like she's the only person in the room who knows the subject matter. Just because I'm not a former First Lady or Secretary of State doesn't mean I'm not aware of what is going on and don't have a reasoned opinion how on how to solve problems.

I was an Obama supporter from the primaries on because she rubs me the wrong way.

I don't even know when she started acting like that. I don't recall her being so condescending when she was First Lady. She seemed intelligent and warm, then. Must be the access to power she now enjoys that has made her that way. Back then, she was just coming into real power from Arkansas, so she was far more humble.
