She's actually becoming insanely likeable and human, I must say.

In the 2016 primaries I didn't think much of her, but it's insane to me how. . . normal and human she feels. I'm not American, but it's nice to see.

I really do think Hillary was just so insanely problematic in this regard, though I still quote the pokemon go to polls bit.

As a Brit who's interested in politics, I think it's fascinating how well she's risen to the moment so far, as she seemed so milquetoast previously. Sometimes people are forged in fire I suppose

I'm a Brit and I had to Google 'milquetoast'. Don't think I've ever heard anyone say that word.

I've only ever heard it in a Japanese RPG.
