Many reports I’ve read over the past few days has Democratic political pundits concerned and wondering why Hillary can’t pull away from the idiot and racist that is Donald J Trump. I can give you a litany of reasons why and in this post I will do just that lol. It’s a simple and also complex set of situations that have the American public skeptical of the Democratic candidate. So lets dig in..

First, there is the underlying Trump effect. No, I’m not saying that people are secretly supporting Trump, as much as, they are secretly agreeing with his positions. See, we are absolutely kidding ourselves if we think that racism, sexism and homophobia doesn’t still exist in America today. A big reason that Clinton can’t and won’t pull away is because there are Millions of Americans who are undercover racists, sexists and all around White dominant people. They reject the notion of Obama being the first African American President and equally reject Hillary Clinton’s attempt to become the first woman President.

Second, Hillary Clinton herself makes people very skittish. She has been in the political limelight for more than three decades and America has seen so many shady dealings, sketchy affairs and just blatant lies come from this career politician. From the Lewinsky scandal to the crisis in Libya, from Clinton Foundation issues to Emailgate. Hillary has not been able to keep a clean nose, nor explain the poor judgment shown with some of these issues. And before you say the Lewinsky scandal was about Bill, there was a portion of the scandal where Hillary seemed to be trying to submerge the women who came forward, while she claims to be a champion for women’s rights. That’s the part that has her in hot water.

Third, people just don’t trust her. For whatever the reasons are that people can’t stand Hillary, and honestly I can think of a few, she remains the second most unlikable President candidate, second to Donald Trump, in American History. I want you to understand just how significant that is. She has probably as much experience as any candidate and is one of the most untrusted and unliked in History. Yes, I can say her “privileged ” lifestyle has definitely been a detractor for many and more than that, her seemingly shrug disposition in the public light makes it hard to root for her. She’s the first woman candidate to lead either major party and nobody cares really, because opinions on her are so etched in stone. And, many people wonder how helpful will she be to the little guy, since her life has only been with the elites of the world.

So you put all of this together and mix in a say anything type candidate in Trump and you get the conundrum that Democrats see themselves in. Had this been Obama, Trump would’ve been dispatched before he began. If it had been Bernie, honestly this race would be over. Hillary, not so much. So now she must work really hard to refine her image and make people believe that she will be the best candidate, warts and all.
