[DisgustipatedinCA]

1. I just love people who lie about my candidate in order to deceive Democratic voters.

[lewebley3]

29. I love Hillary Clinton: your polls is done with socialist not Dem's

[morningfog]

39. I don't understand what you are trying to say.

[cui bono]

43. No one does.

[m-lekktor]

62. lol!nt

[ybbor]

83. You hit that right on the head

An extreme waste of bandwidth that one is.

[Katashi_itto]

44. Wtf?

[baldguy]

66. Then you must *really* love Sanders' supporters

Using Republican tactics to spread Republican lies and Republican talking points, all to attack Democratic candidates and deceive Democratic voters.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

85. I can document lots of CLINTON LIES. You can document no Sanders lies. So there's that.

Let me know when we have anything at all to talk about.

[Scootaloo]

2. I don't know the woman, personally

I know I don't want her to be president, but that's not really a like / dislike thing.

[mdbl]

75. The question is irrelavent to the election

I like her! It isn't the main reason I would vote for her though.

[whatchamacallit]

3. She seems to display few of the qualities I appreciate in my friends

so to be honest, no.

[MissDeeds]

7. I agree n/t

[JonLeibowitz]

34. "woman like you"...? Rather offensive don't you think?

[gwheezie]

4. I like her

Aside from politics, I think she's got a sharp wit and she's very smart. I think I would enjoy having her over for coffee.

[DefenseLawyer]

5. I have no idea

I don't like the way she campaigns, but have never met her, so who can say whether we would be pals?

[lewebley3]

31. I love the way Hillary is fighting for Obama and the Dem's Party

[Marty McGraw]

38. because some group

Just got hold of a new voodoo doll. The last one had too many pinholes and could no longer hold it's threads.

ahh... that's more like it.... a fresh list...

[Reter]

6. Wish there was an option for "Can't stand her"

Still would vote for her against Trump though.

[firebrand80]

8. Everyone should nt

[Fawke Em]

21. Everyone shouldn't like anyone.

That's impossible.

Her voice gets on my nerves, her laugh makes me run screaming, but mostly I don't like her FP and economic positions. Personally, however, I don't know her to know if I like her.

[1StrongBlackMan]

60. Against trump, or any other republican. eom.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. She displays three of the qualities I look for in friends.

Loyalty, toughness, and empathy.

[whatchamacallit]

12. Toughness maybe

Loyalty and empathy, not so much.

[Dawson Leery]

17. +1,000,000

[senz]

42. Empathy?

People who are madly in love with themselves rarely, if ever, feel empathy for others. They might fake it -- along with jolly smiles, laughter, pleasant chitchat -- for the purpose of making a favorable impression, but they rarely treat those who are not useful to them with anything like genuine empathy. Often they lack empathy for their own children.

[Art_from_Ark]

78. She can empathize with people who were flat broke

after leaving the White House.

[RKP5637]

52. I don't think when one is campaigning we get to really see what they are all about. I would

not mind her as president.

[Kall]

81. Loyalty? After this week's dishonest hit attempt on Sanders?

She's good at demanding loyalty. Displaying it, not so much.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

10. It's not about likability as much as it is about

her being a trustworthy candidate.

I don't like George Bush II, in fact I revile him and what he stands for...what he did to the USA and Iraq.

I don't wan't to find out how much I will dislike HRC, if elected, so that's why I am voting for SBS.

[crystal dawn]

18. trustworthy?

That description sounds an awful like something a Benghazi truther would say. I can't tell the bernie bro's from the RAnd paul liberty lovers from the republicans anymore.

[Fawke Em]

23. And I can't tell Hillary's foreign and economic policies from Republicans.

If y'all are going to go with the "Bernie supporters = Paul supporters" garbage I've seen on here at least four times today, then I'm gonna go with the more accurate meme - that Hillary's a neocon.

[crystal dawn]

24. "neocon hillary"

has been around for years too. I suppose you have specific details of her work as Secretary of State that supports your argument then. Or is it the simple fact that she refuses to be an isolationist like Paul and Sanders that makes her a neocon?

edit: oh and you are completely wrong about her economic comparisons with Republicans. She aligns pretty close to Bernie's economic policies thank you very much. Unless you want to spew Wall St. Corportist BS also.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

35. Benghazi! Benghazi! Ayn Rand!

[DisgustipatedinCA]

86. Well, she's untrustworthy. Words do have meaning, irrespective of the rantings of baggers.

Lying has consequences.

[NCTraveler]

11. Like, respect, admire...... nt.

[cali]

13. I don't know her. I find her persona offputting

[bigwillq]

14. No (nt)

[lunamagica]

15. Yes, I do. I like and admire her

Her intelligence is dazzling, she is though, tenacious, and she seems friendly.

[closeupready]

16. I think she's likeable, but there's so much about her I do NOT like.

[Kentonio]

19. When she was away being SoS then I started forgetting about 2008 and liking her again.

This campaign has reminded me of all the reasons I don't.

[Renew Deal]

20. She's likable enough

[EndElectoral]

22. Didn't vote as I don't really know her. What I don't like is many of her policies.

[Lucinda]

25. Yup.

[Blue_In_AK]

26. I don't know her personally

so can't say. Some of her mannerisms annoy me, but that could just be her public persona.

[earthside]

27. I've met her ... didn't like her.

And her public persona is cold and brittle to me.
I don't like that either.

[daleanime]

28. I don't know....

I've never met her.

I do know that I dislike her voting record.

[tech3149]

32. Why oh why do you post this shit?

Does it really matter if I "like" HRC? She could be the worst neighbor I ever had but if she had a better record of helping me deal with my problems I would support her.
Ending impression, she doesn't and she hasn't so my decision is made.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

33. Indifference is the opposite of both love and hate.

Likability isn't something I look for in politicians and I certainly would give it scant regard when I vote.

In my eyes, Hillary is just another ambitious playing on her celebrity to gain office. I also see her as unfit to hold public office.

Do I "like" her? I don't even know her but I know her history and am all too familiar with her politics and stances.

As a person, I'm indifferent to her. As a candidate, I won't vote for her.

[Prism]

36. People who keeps enemies lists worry me

It's just not a good psychology, and I don't particularly recommend people who operate that way to executive positions. It usually means they will govern according to personal interest over the common good.

Newp. Don't like her. Won't even pretend to.

[senz]

41. + 1 Very good point.

These things matter.

[Vinca]

37. I'm not crazy about her, but I don't dislike her.

[m-lekktor]

40. Nope. In politics I dislike republicans and Clintons. nt

[GoneOffShore]

71. Bingo!

[hrmjustin]

45. I love Hillary.

I always have.

[fleur-de-lisa]

46. She seems like she is probably a nice person . . .

but I have never met her, so how can one be sure?

I absolutely DO NOT want her as my president.

[Sunlei]

47. I like both of our top two candidates

[Beacool]

48. These kinds of polls are a waste of time.

The Clintons are considered persona non grata on this site, their supporters are not far behind. Everything and anything has been said about them. Therefore, Hillary's supporters either don't come here at all or stopped giving a fig about the perpetual attacks.

[geek tragedy]

49. She's likeable enough nt

[darkangel218]

58. For some, I guess.

[malokvale77]

50. I don't know her personally to say.

Her public personae makes me not want to.

[cheapdate]

51. I love her laugh. She throws her head back and laughs with gusto.

My mother is the same way. You can find her in a crowd from her laugh.

Doesn't mean I agree with her perspective on politics or government, but I like her.

[Warren DeMontague]

53. I've never met her in person.

Politically, I liked her a crapton more during the 90s, and the graph of that went down precipitously between the IWR vote, "marriage is a sacred bond between a man and a woman", proposing anti-1st Amendment laws against flag burning, hard line positions in support of mass incarceration of marijuana users, etc.

Her performance in 2008 didn't help, although to her credit she graciously came around to support the nominee (unlike some of her followers) by the time of the convention.

My esteem for her went down even further when her campaign this time around began, as I feared it would, with empty meaningless poll-tested platitudes, not to mention brain-breaking inanities like "I have ties to Wall St. because nineeleven" and "we shouldn't worry about 'free speech, etc' concerns keeping us from censoring the internet" and "we need a manhattan project on encryption".

When her people started talking, with no apparent sense of irony, about their plans to have her be more spontaneous, the deal descended rapidly into farce.

The fact that she's so closely affilated with Debbie "pot needs to stay illegal because heroin" Wasserman Schultz does not, similarly, help.

She COULD have run a better campaign- at least, I think she could have, assuming that underneath all the poll-testing and carefully crafted messaging and soft focus videos there's a person who has strong convictions and beliefs and is not afraid to take even potentially controversial positions and actually wants to effectively lead this country for reasons beyond simply wanting - and having wanted, for a VERY long time- to be POTUS.

[randys1]

54. Never met her. I think she cares about stuff that matters, and I think the republicans

not only dont care about stuff that matters, but they are actively seeking to do harm, GREAT harm.

But I bet she is kind of boring, most highly intelligent, consumed by their career folks are.

[djean111]

55. How is that germane to this election?

Does her campaign actually think that "liking" Hillary would be enough to ignore the dishonesty and the issues?
That is delusional.
I don't like her policies, her issues and her lies. I see no need to have any other feelings about her. She is a politician.

[darkangel218]

56. As a potential POTUS, no.

[John Poet]

57. Less and less as the campaign progresses...

By the end she'll probably be right down there with--

no, I won't name names.

[1StrongBlackMan]

59. I voted "Yes"; but, I also like O'Malley and Bernie ...

all for different reasons.

[PoliticalMalcontent]

61. Clinton is someone who will say and do anything to win. I don't view that as a positive.

As for supporters on both sides it's all perspective. When someone is fighting for something they believe in their are bound to be some hurt feelings. My hope is that we can overcome the petty shit.

There are quite a few Clinton supporters here whom I truly respect, although they may not realize it.

Be kind, people.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

63. Like is a strange word to use

Yes I like her but I don't like her some of her policies.

[DFW]

64. Well, sure

The couple of times I met her, she was very nice, and has a wicked sense of humor.

But how many responders to your poll do you expect to have met her?

[MrWendel]

65. I said it before...

and I'll say it again. Seems like allot of people hate her more than Republicans, even Trump.

[baldguy]

67. Everone saying "no" have allowed themselves to be seduced by Republican propaganda.

[MyNameGoesHere]

68. I like bourbon,

Cuban food, stormy seas, and lots of other shit. What the fuck has this got to do with intelligently casting a vote? Is there going to be a like block on the ballot?

[Metric System]

69. Obviously this is no longer a forum for Democrats.

[GoneOffShore]

70. Didn't like her when Bill was in office.

Didn't respect her as a Senator.

Thought Obama made a mistake when when he appointed her Sec of State.

I wish she would go away.

[peace13]

72. It is not a matter of like or dislike...

...she does not represent me or my interests.

[beaglelover]

73. Yes, I like her a lot.

[Jamaal510]

74. Not my first choice, but she gets a bad rap around here.

HC has plenty of accomplishments and a strong record of advocating progressive causes as Senator, she has been loyal to the party, and she did a fine job as SOS. My feeling is that some of those who badmouth her are intentionally starting trouble, while others need to do their research on the things she has done and how it is like night and day between her and any Republican. She is fully qualified to be Pres. Obama's successor.

[BlueMTexpat]

76. Nice post! eom

[BlueMTexpat]

77. Absolutely.

I like, respect, admire, and am proud of every one of our Dem candidates. I consider it a privilege to be able to vote for any one of them in the GE.

I like each for different reasons. But in the final analysis, all things considered - the bad and the good - Hillary is my top choice because, IMO, her experience and personality represent a comprehensive package of the strengths that I believe that our next President needs most. I will be voting for her in the primaries.

As to supporters of the various candidates - which I realize was not the question - my answer is more nuanced. The overwhelming majority of Hillary's DU supporters are posters I respect and admire, mainly for their common sense, LOL, but also because they are long-time DU members who have helped to make this site the unique place that it is. ALL of MOM's supporters are posters I respect and admire, especially for their courage and loyalty to their candidate in a lopsided uphill battle and their grace and courtesy in arguing their candidate's strengths instead of repeating ad nauseam mostly GOPer memes about the others.

I also respect and admire most of Bernie's DU supporters for the same reasons that I admire supporters of the other two, even though he is not my preferred candidate. But there are some here who are a real turn-off and neither a credit nor a help to their candidate at all.

Thank heavens that there is an "Ignore" feature on DU because I have used that feature generously in the past two months - after having had only a maximum of three people on "Ignore" from the time I - a long-time lurker - actually signed up for DU.

[bowens43]

79. Can't stand her, IMO she's evil, devious and vindictive.

she is the epitome of everything that is wrong with politics in this country. Anyone who has been paying attention to politics for the last few decades knows this.

[Kall]

80. She's not likeable enough.

This week's episode of "Let's dishonestly attack the Democrat standing for universal Medicare with Republican talking points, and send my child out to participate", then doubling down on the dishonesty when it is pointed out, offers a big, ugly window into her character that some people are choosing not to look through. But the Democratic establishment doesn't seem to care that a candidate who has been in the public eye for 23 years, and 60% of Americans report that they view as untrustworthy, is not going to turn it around in 8 months and is going to be an anchor on Democrats downballot.

[Kalidurga]

82. That will probably be her 47% moment and it wasn't done privately

It was a completely unforced and public error.

[wavesofeuphoria]

84. Oh look! An enemies list! How Nixonian!

[CajunBlazer]

87. Just proves this board does not resemble the Democratic in the least

Among the rank and file Democrats Hilliary has a great approval rating.
