History is full of people who might have made decent presidents but public perception did them in. Romney, Mondale, Humphrey...the list goes on. Michael Dukakis lost the '88 election because he looked goofy riding in a tank.

Yes, I agree. People for some reason just don't like Hillary. She's had that likeability problem since she was first lady. I had my first inkling she might be in trouble when my Uncle who lives in Seattle said he was going to vote for anyone but Hillary, which shocked me at the time because he had always voted Democrat in the past and lived in Seattle! But yet he really disliked her, for reasons you always hear about -- that she's corrupt and too much of an insider, which always sounded very vague to me. But still, for people to vote for Trump over Hillary is still just so unfathomable.
