Here is the logic behind why some people like Hillary.

The only other democrat is a socialist. For many people that word alone is enough for them to not want him to be president. Others think he is too old or simply think he can' possibly deliver on what he promises. I'm sure there are other anti-Bernie ideas out there I can't think of.

On the republican side you can choose from Cruz, a guy who is so set in his ways he would rather shut the government down than negotiate and he is so religious he starts off many of his speeches with talking about God and some of his appearances have actually turned into prayer meetings. For some people who make their living selling pictures and videos of people fucking, the idea of a guy this conservative and religious in the White House is scary.

Trump is the wild card. Since he has never held public office before we have no track record to go on as to how he will vote on things and how he will react in certain situations. As time has gone on we can get some sense of what his presidency would focus on including immigration and the economy, but there are many people who think he lacks the temperament to be president and he will have a difficult time dealing with other countries who don't won't just give him what he wants. Fear of the unknown is a big thing. For as much as people talk about wanting change, they really don't want change. You can look at the last election as proof. Going into the election congress had a 10% job approval rating. It was historically bad and bad is not even a good enough word to describe how poorly people thought of the congress. Yet they had a 95% re-election rate. So those same people who claim to hate these people and the job they are doing voted for them.

So your options are: The Socialist, The Religious Nutjob, The Unknown, or Hillary. When you line it up like that Hillary starts to look good to a lot of people.
