35. "It's time for a reality check."
Most Americans reject Hillary because she represents oligarchic, entrenched, moneyed Wall Street/DC interests. She might've had a better chance in 2004, actually. Even Bill isn't helping her now. People are even more pissed off and desperate than they were in 2004, and they want real, insitutional change. That cannot come from someone from the DLC. DLC assumptions and goals are The Problem.

However, I think personally Hillary is an intelligent, capable person, and would make an intelligent, capable president. I just think the time has passed for her - people want something more radical now. Ironic, considering her past, and how she's moved right to be more "electable".
