Although I believe there’s none so beautiful as an intelligent, talented woman, Hillary’s speaking style seems false, her smile fixed. When she speaks forcibly, she projects anger. To men and perhaps to women, angry women often mean bad news and unpleasantness. I can figure that logically but it still irritates me. I wish I could get behind the appearance to the message. And maybe she does that in the course of each speech, but the news clips don’t show that..Maybe it’s because she’s been around so long as I remember and I’m tired of her. Maybe, it’s because I’ve seen her go from nice to nasty in the 2008 campaign..Ah, I know what it is: she’s become a professional politician. And politicians are inclined these days to express anger to mirror the audience anger. Hillary doesn’t do it well. If an actress, she wouldn’t be picked to be the angry character. How superficial of me, but it’s the truth. The media have thus poisoned my expectations. Trump has made politics into a sort of pornography.
Who among the candidates are not professional politicians? Bernie’s been at it for decades.Trump is the possible exception but he is clearly a snake oil sales guy, all you have to to is talk to anyone who was is business with him in the past.He has a consistent record of taking advantage of his fellow investors. He is an egomaniac if there ever was one. Hillary is probably the best of the bunch and has the best resume. Unfortunately she is not very inspiring and her personality turns a lot of people off. At least it will be over by the end of the year.
I hope she maintains her cool during the debates she will have with Trump. He can be vindictive. I try not to look at his face in the news and don’t listen to him any more. He’s an awful man.
She is too shrill, but a little too calm giving her foreign policy speech. She is shouting angrily and should use a more conversational tone. Maybe if she tried her speech with a male member, it would resound with the people who have a problem with her voice. If she didn’t have ovaries or breasts, her voice would sound better to the people who have a problem with it. If Clinton was a man, there would be no Sanders and there would be no Trump, she is obviously the best choice for office if only she were the right gender.
I like Bernie better than the others, don’t care for all of his repeated rhetoric, that doesn’t get through to people even when repeated, though it’s based on facts. HIllary is a little short on empathy at times, but has anyone ever heard of Cheney and Rumsfeld and “shock and awe”???
I’ve actually read, and in fact enforced the Constitution and laws of the land, for decades, which is why Trump and Cruz scare the “S” out of me, not just because they say that anti-Constitutional garbage, but that more than two people in the US actually buy it and sign on!
Mr. Bors, good one. Very good one. One may or may not agree with Ms. Clinton, but I suggest that we have to have great respect for her ability to be effective and to persevere over a period of ~25 years of “WHY IS SHE SHOUTING!!!!!”, and far worse. I think that most men would not have been capable of dealing with all that crap.
I just have to laugh every time Palin opens her mouth and the righties call Hlllary shrill, or loud, or a liar, or, well at least they haven’t called her a “quitter”.

I haven’t seen any talking heads claiming that she is shouting. Guess I’m not watching the right shows.

Why anyone would vote for someone that constantly shouts at them is beyond me.

^I’m surprised you didn’t hit on the actual solution, with most of our politicians on the tines.
