Two Opposites

Gerald Seib: “The very attributes where Mrs. Clinton is strongest with voters—being knowledgeable, experienced and having the right temperament to be a good president—also happen to be areas where voters harbor some of their biggest doubts about Mr. Trump. And the attributes where Mr. Trump gets strong mark from voters—an ability to bring change to the country and being honest and straightforward—happen to be areas where Mrs. Clinton is weakest.”

“In short, these candidates aren’t just different; they are opposites. She’s the competent veteran who isn’t quite trusted, he’s the brash newcomer who is a bit scary.”
