2. She really hasn't mastered the whole "optics" thing
She knows she has to appear more authentic and real but instead of actually dropping the pretense and being herself, she pretends to be authentic and real. And people see right through it. It's a shame because she's bright, insightful, and would make a good president. It's just this icky - and unneeded - fakeness which scares people away. Hillary supporters -- don't ignore this or just write off articles like this. There's a real unease out there with her and it needs to be addressed, not ignored.
She's fake as **** and lies all the time, but she'd be a great president. For realz.

6. I don't know how she will not appear to be part of the 1% I have a problem in believing she understands the plight of the 99%. The comment of the Clinton's being broke after leaving the White House still resonate in my mind. I kept comparing the Clinton Foundation to Jimmy Carter's work for Habitat for Humanity.

7. Bill Curry - Nadarite and someone who wrote we should abandon the Democratic party.
He's one of these writers who sits in judgment but has no idea how real electoral politics works.
But, we shall see who is right in about 18 months... and who has the last laugh.

11. It's critical that she be seen as sincere. If she can fake that, she's got it made.

13. I'm hearing all about how she is running this campaign differently or the same; not what she's going to do for my kids and me.All children having her grand-daughter Charlotte's opportunities? Pfffft -
They don't need to be in the 1% -
I'd be glad if they all had jobs and the student loans went away!
Hillary is about as real as Al Gore.
