General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Hillary became "unlikable" when she became successful in her own right. It's all about sexism. [View all]...not disputing you, but I did not mean to associate "calculating" with a specific gender. After thinking about it, I suppose I might associate it as masculine. I think of calculators and computers... Perhaps "calculating" has an older connotation - "calculating female"? I would say that "conniving" would be a poorer choice of words...
I like "tactical" and "strategic" though... but, not quite what I meant. Maybe with "safe" added... Hillary was strategically safe. I recall her mentioning this in an interview about Trump lurking around during a debate. She played it safe, but wondered about saying something like, "Get out of my space!" My feeling is that she made the correct, strategic choice, then. Hillary had a rougher road, but she handled it exceptionally well. I think history will rate her much higher than Crooked Donald.
