People (I) dislike Hillary because she seems dishonest, sterilized, a politician, not because she isn't "fun".

Hillary clearly speaks carefully, clearly takes positions on issues with a choice, to appeal to voters, not because that is Hillary you vote for, it's "the most popular positions at the moment".

I want to elect a representative, one who speaks, is willing to disagree with the public, but has the public's best interest at heart, and the experience and will to say "I stand here on this unpopular issue". I do not want a person who is going to weasel their way into office, only to go back on all they promised.

Sadly, with the only option being a protectionist who opposes things which do make economic sense, or a republican who appeals to the ideas of a group with views and knowledge two generations old, I will likely end up voting for her.
