9. I think what makes Hillary special

even against Bill or Obama, is that she's a uniter. She has the ability to communicate and empathize with people, and inspire FIERCE loyalty in those she's reached out to. She has so many people with her because she makes people feel "she's with us". And she's also helped by the fact that she tries, even when she has random gaffes that make her seem out of touch. Especially with marginalized people, there are so, so many people that don't even try that when someone DOES try, from the heart, the gaffes can be forgiven. Bill had a lot of that going on too, the only time the gaffes actually hurt was 2008 and the circumstances there were obviously unique.
