Exactly. I remember in the 2008 primaries I was talking to someone about how Obama was a better pick than Clinton because she just felt unlikeable. I did some self reflection at the time and realized that's because Republicans had been running a constant smear campaign against her since the early 90s. It's crazy how effective that long term propaganda is. It leaves people with a generally bad feeling about someone, even if they can't quite articulate why.
I mean I let her actions speak for themselves like when she said no one should be too big to fail yet her top campaign donations where from a bunch of banks that were bailed out in 2008. Plus her marriage to Bill. That's already 2 strikes against her judgement.
I also just think she always sounds disingenuous when she speaks. Something in her tone gives me powerful used car salesmen vibes.
