evidence: Constantly, Hillary Clinton claimed that she was the most qualified candidate. Constantly, she recited her curriculum vitae - her experience as first lady, a US senator for New York, a secretary of state.

She was seen as the high priestess of an east coast elite that looked down, sneeringly, on working people.
