53. they have been using similar
words like "impatient", "air of inevitability" some use "grating" another commentator used "imperial" but reflexive robotic clinton followers refuse to get the message even when it hits them in the head. There was a substantial style change in New Hamshire, people responded, they liked that person because she was connecting with them and I am not talking about the tearing up event. Her entire tone was different. Every single commentator remarked that she had changed back to the tone that she had in the earlier debates pre/post Iowa.

In general the population hates someone who smacks of a "know it all" Reagan and Bush beat (repeatedly) people who were considered smarter than they were. Bill Clinton who is extremely smart, camouflaged it in a folksy manner and people underestimated him. Gore, bless his heart, was very smart but had a slightly pompous tone in formal settings. A good speech coach could have eliminated it and saved us a war and alot of heartache.

Hillary Clinton enters the campaign with higher firm negatives than any candidate has since Nixon. She comes off as not being knowledgeable but someone who thinks she is considerably more knowledgeable than the listeners and she appears to be kind of put out by having to explain it to all of the uninformed who haven't been watching her do all this hard work "these last 35 years and is ready day one".
