Hillary isn't a likable candidate. She is very-very smart and experienced, her policies are excellent, her competence is through the roof - but she just isn't the kind of person with a spark, who ignites the crowd with her speeches. Trump, sadly, turned out to be exactly such a person. His theatrical presence helped him a lot throughout the debates, and the campaign in general.
