Thats an oddly popular politician to use. Basically a pretty high bar vs trump, palin, bush jr., cheney, nixon at the end, stefanik.
Clinton's highest approval ratings were always when she wasn't interacting with the general public. She had a unique kind of anti-charisma; an ability to come off as an out-of-touch patrician whenever she tried to 'connect' with normal people. By contrast, in her role as an apparatchik, she enjoyed high approval ratings because she wasn't expected to court the public and was able to simply project an air of professionalism, which the electorate generally sees positively.
oh yeah. this is spot on. still my whole original reply point was she is still a high bar for vance to be under and there are so many lower bars to use. I am in no way saying she was super popular like her husband or obama or harris. Ill actually never forgive her for the corporate drug benefit giveaway. The whole forcing a yearly figuring out a complex task in folks losing the ablitity to do so is just crazy.
All those people were at least pretty popular with their own side. Nobody was really excited to vote for the wife of a sex-pest former president in the same way they were to vote for a fat racist orange man or a dumbfuck who could barely string a sentence together but he sure did like blowing up Muslims.
I mean up until the whole democratic insider bernie thing she was pretty popular and even post that it does not compare to those I listed. I mean trump is pretty popular with his own people to but its a small subset of the whole. All politicians who have ever won have some sort of set of their own side where they are pretty popular.
