People hate Hilary because they are foolish enough to still be republicans, while she, while not smart enough to have never been a republican, was smart enough to stop being a republican even before Reagan.

Fine that you put it in humor but I think it is astute. He's right. Many of the Bern's die hard supporters act as though they think he is the magic man. If the "magic" word is putting you off, just substitute "special". In their minds only the Bern is special enough to deliver us from the evils of a two party, corporate-run state. That is just bullshit. Bernie may be aces about identifying and waxing rhetorical regarding the problems, but that doesn't mean he is the guy who can do anything about it. Most likely he would have been a mess, unable to get support from much of anyone.
What Hillary is is a worker bee. She is a die in the wool do-gooder. She can wax wonky but who couldn't if they'd lived their entire adult life with Bill Clinton? But she is smart and she does care about helping people. I suspect she will be very productive and I have no doubt that her constituency will be kids, the poor and working people .. not the corporations whose support she gathers. If you want to get anything done in this country you'd better be able to communicate with everyone, you'd better be strategic and you'd better be persistent. She has shown herself to be all of that. But no, she isn't 'special' in the Bernie way. You want to fire up the base? Give the mike to Bill or Bernie. But you want someone to work like a dog and effectively to really help people, vote for Hillary.

Kyle did another segment some weeks ago on why people hate both cadidates. The approval rates for both are rather abyssmal after all. Rightfully so, I would say.

Yep, Trump is a bigot - I agree. So are the many Republican insiders ditching him in favour of Hilary, which is even scarier I think. They love Hilary because they know she thinks like them. It would be terrible if Hilary managed to make the Democrats and Republicans the same on war and foreign policy because she certain sounds at least as hawkish as George W. Bush. I'm sure the Republican elites could manage four years of Donald Trump if they wanted to. He said his SCOTUS picks would be ones they'd like.
