The Most Honest View Of Hillary I've Seen Yet

Comes from expert political analyst Larry Sabato:

Clinton is a substantial, maybe heavy early favorite for the nomination,” Sabato observed. "Hillary has become the ‘woman candidate’ in a party strongly influenced by women in its voting base (if not in public office). Her first-tier opponents are also hobbled in various ways.”

Yet, he warns Hillary "has her own unique set of difficulties, and neither her party nor the general electorate has focused on them in a comprehensive way.”

Among them Sabato writes:

"There is something about Hillary - the person, not the politician - that upsets and repels tens of millions of Americans. Fairly or not, she is seen as cold, calculating, and ruthless, an off-putting combination of characteristics ... Almost every voter now has heard something about her leading role in covering up for her husband's serial infidelities over the decades. This is an unusual role for a spouse, even in the twisted world of politics. Most normal people cannot fathom it, except in the context of a supposed 'corrupt bargain' between two power-hungry individuals.”
