Would Hillary have been a better president than Trump?
Yes, absolutely, without question. 100,000% better.
Is Hillary more likable than Trump?
That's up for debate.

"Rich old white woman so self-absorbed that she's less likable than an incoherent, ugly, selfish, geriatric, Nazi. More at 11."

Trump is charismatic and funny, thats why he was on tv. If only people didnt take him seriously or give him actual power. Let me remind you that /r/the_donald was a joke subreddit.

Hillary has no charisma. Also her campaign literally promoted Trump, because she thought he would have been an easier opponent. She is smart and capable(or was, she is kinda getting older nowadays) but her political positions are abhorrent. She could have been the perfect "reasonable republican" candidate.

Did you forget the peak charisma that was 'chilling in cedar rapids' or 'pokemon go to the polls'?

Would Hillary have been a better president than Trump?

Better for the US. For the rest of the world she would have been a plague.

It's amazing to me that so few USians seem to understand the role the US plays in the world - but I'll be happy to enlighten you.

Hillary would have handled the COVID-19 pandemic in the US far, far better than Trump have. Do you think that would have been good for you, perhaps?

Unfortunately for the rest of the world, Hillary, being a Kissinger-trained and approved arch imperialist and warmonger, would have revelled in the bodycount she could rack up in the 3rd world - something which Trump was absolutely far, far too incompetent to do in the manner expected of the war criminals you vote into the Waffle House.

Now now, Waffle House just runs FEMA, not the whole country.
