The idea that Hillary was more policy minded, while Obama was concerned with the overall story and how it is framed, feels to resonate a little bit more considering how difficult it has been for Democrats - since Obama - to seemingly relate with voters without relying on "we're not Trump".
The Democrats are, across the board, the better option socially and economically for the vast majority of Americans. They just can't figure out a more effective way of making it digestible to the average person without dumbing it down to the modern GOP message.
