I don’t see why. He’s got the political perception of Clinton down pat. What he described is definitely a weakness for her, and it was a weakness during her 2008 campaign. She doesn’t relate well to people, and it’s not even entirely clear that she even likes people. Which is why I think she’ll probably lose in the primary. All it will take is a more lefty candidate who can relate to average folks better and she’s done. ---

She and Bill did actually say and do all these things. Regards, Shodan ---

I totally agree. Its even more obvious because Bill projects a warm and caring persona. The public loves him. Hillary has always seemed aloof and cold. I like her politics but I’m not sure she can win over the public. > [@adaher](#): > > I don’t see why. He’s got the political perception of Clinton down pat.

> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > [Negative](http://www.aapsonline.org/clinton/AAPS/APPOPIN.PDF). You are correct. She and her commission were found to have violated the law on two occasions, but this was overturned on appeal. My apologies for the error.
