To the Editor:
While David Brooks searches for reasons that Hillary Clinton is not the warm and fuzzy type, he overlooks the most obvious answer. The Republicans have spent 24 years and millions of dollars vilifying her and every step she takes. To endure such a sustained assault, she has had to develop a pretty tough shell. What was more interesting about Mr. Brooks’s ruminations is that he never once questioned Mrs. Clinton’s competence to be president.

Note from KBJ: Incompetence is the least of it. Hillary Rodham Clinton is the most corrupt politician in American history, with her husband a close second.
