If we are being fair, being a good candidate doesn't mean you will be a good president. It can show some skills that you will need to use to be president, but really being a good candidate means you are able to get people excited about you and what you are saying.
Bernie is doing very well with young people because he wants to make college free and right now we have an entire generation of people who have been told since a young age to go to college. So they did just that and now they have mountains of debt and since our economy collapsed they have had trouble finding jobs in their chosen fields or for that matter that will pay them a decent wage even if it isn't the chosen field.
Obama was a great campaigner. The guy was a rock star. He drew 20,000 people everywhere he went. Has he been a great president?
Personally, I think Hillary will be Obama 2.0. Most of her policies pretty much fall in line with Obamas and she has taken so much money from special interests that she won't be able to rock the boat too much for fear of pissing them off. Will she be terrible, great, or just average, there really is no way of knowing at this point.
Not that this applies fully to Hillary, but if you were hiring a programmer to build a piece of software for you who are you going to hire, the guy who has a dynamic personality that makes you laugh and engages you with some great stories, but has little real world experience in the field and limited training, or the guy who is dull, boring in the interview and nearly puts you to sleep talking to him, but has a resume stacked with impressive work history and training?
