-She is a political weather-vane. I'm not sure what she really believes in strongly besides women's rights.

disagree, but she didn't have anything too extremist, such as muslim bans, walls, etc. to get the racists and xenophobes all worked up.

-I don't find her to be a particularly effective communicator and she is lacking in leadership skills.

disagree, go watch any of her speeches
This is probably the number one reason she isn't the President. The world is being swept by radical and populist movements and she was the career politician. Never leaning extreme on either side and played the middle like a proper statesman should, the problem is that is not want the electorate wanted. They wanted change for the sake of change, some misguided notion that a change in President could fix everything.

Macron played the center, but he did it much better than Hillary. He was passionate in his convictions where Hillary pandered to as many sides as she could and came off looking opportunistic instead of measured. She was the most qualified person ever to run for the Presidency, but was exploited by the biggest flaw in Democracy, the will of the uninformed masses.
