She just doesn't have that non-academic X-factor.
I agree, and when she tries it seems very forced and unnatural for her
Just as you wouldn't want to be operated on by a surgeon with half a brain, you shouldn't want to be governed by someone whose only merit is having the X-factor.
Why not go for someone who is, I don't know,
competent for the job? It makes the choice a lot easier, because it rules out almost all of the current contenders.
But that's seemingly not how it works in your country. Anyway, whatever happens, I really, really, REALLY implore you Americans to muster the good sense NOT to give the job to the clown Donald Trump. The world is already in a sorry state, we really don't need a foul mouthed, bigoted, racist, pompous, egomaniacal idiot in a position to make matters worse. In fact, compared to Trump, even having someone like George W. Bush again would be a blessing.
So, please America, I beg of you, choose anyone but Trump.
