4. Hilary was not my preferred candidate but she is still a darn good candidate.

The perception problem, as you noted, can't be changed in the three months leading up to the election as it has been created by over 40 years of non-stop Republican attacks. In fact, I look at it another way; it is amazing that after over 40 years of unprecedented attacks on the Clintons, Hilary is poised to be the first female President.

I had this conversation with someone who asked me why I would vote for Hilary over and Trump and did I think she was more qualified. My response, Hilary is very intelligent, has years of both foreign and domestic policy experience, and will be respected by the world. Trump has none of these qualities. I then asked, what will happen if Trump wins? Who will be the first country he threatens with nukes, or what world market will he disrupt with an off the cuff remark.

People who hate Hilary do so for a reason, which is that it gives the person a reason to vote for Trump. It is an excuse so they don't fell badly about their vote for Trump. Facts don't matter!

Hilary is handling Trump perfectly in my opinion. Let him implode while she pushes policy.
