Peter Daou: "2016 boils down to Hillary's public image being unjustly savaged...

5. How many times did we hear that Hillary had a "cult of personality"

and voted because of Stockholm Syndrome, voted with our you-know-what, a brainless Hillbot. Ironically, if that was actually true like some politicians ... ahem ... who do have cults of personality, the negative press wouldn't have had such an impact.

It was terribly disheartening, in most person-on-the-street interviews I saw on TV, so many women saying they didn't like Hillary but couldn't say why exactly. Clearly it was only the negativity of things they heard around them: crook and liar. If they were to purchase a new car or pair of boots or something, they'd take the time to go online and do research or pick up a newspaper to look at ads, but heaven forbid that anyone do that before voting (or deciding not to vote) for the people making decisions about things that can drastically change your life. Then suddenly they trust gossip and what they see on TV.
