Trump has stayed in this race by being authentic, even if this means being poorly restrained and angry. Clinton is smart, experienced, but doesn't come off as real or even as being overly interested in this race. I mean, right now, she is just the obvious default choice over Trump, and I am afraid that is all she is running on currently.
The problem is that Trump is too impulsive, angry, and maybe even too stupid to come up with a cohesive attack on her mediocre record, her lackluster campaign, and her oligarchic pretenses.
I cannot stand Hillary Clinton. Cannot stand her. I cannot stand the progressive worship of the Presidency, and executive power, generally. I hate seeing her run against someone like Trump because he just cannot beat her, and if he did, I wouldn't want him to.
What an awful time for conservatism, generally.

Clinton can't win can she? You just laid it out though stating your heavy bias towards her. You simply cannot stand her. She's either smug or shrill, even when she's making an effort to be composed. The times she was "smug" was justified IMO when Donald was spewing his typical lies and BS. If she just stood there, she'd be labelled a robot, or criticized for letting Trump walk all over her, and would take heat for that. If she just smiled without any animation, she'd be still be labeled "smug." For the most part, she made a solid effort to remain composed with the camera on her.
If she didn't lay out talking points what else does she have? Isn't that what a debate is supposed to be about? Laying out your plans and countering your opponent? Slapping around in the mud with Donald wouldn't help her at all. She'd just be criticized for that. Only Donald is allowed to act like an ass.
