18. The Hillary negatives aren't just high

they are hard because of the decades of crazytown attacks against her. She is despised by so many, as you point out, mainly because of RW lies. I don't dislike her personally, I just object to a great deal of her record. Sure she has her good points and she's ramping up the populist rhetoric and positions, but her history indicates she would be Business As Usual, if elected. How is that working out for us so far?

Also, she's stiff. I think that's because she is afraid of a gaffe when talking to the press or unscripted real people. Bernie is not stiff.

His surprising charisma, still largely unheralded, is akin to Ross Perot (yuk), who was leading in the polls big time in 1992, before he melted down about lesbian weddings. That's the key to Bernie's increasing charisma vs. Ross Perot's disappearing charisma: Perot was afraid of lesbians, while Bernie fights for our sisters' rights!
