The left doesn't understand that her ads and the positions she's taken on the issues show her to be a violent, boundary transgressing control freak to a polite civilization that doesn't want all the left's hyper-state and policing and dictats.
Never a shakeup among Liberals because they just don't care. This dame has been haunting the DNC for decades, and they act like she's fresh and different.
"Oh but she's a woman and we need a woman as president!" - claim people in the regressive left who ignore logic and reason, and are blind to facts about this candidate.

While there is a new realization among Republican voters that there is a disconnect between the policies that the leaders promote and what Republican voters support, that's not true with Democrats. We don't need a "reform movement" because Democrats elect leaders that actually pass policies that the voters want.
Republican leaders hold a small-government ideology, they try to dismantle Medicare and Social Security and everything that helps regular people, that's not what Republican voters want. The elite that controls the GOP want different objectives than their voters. GOP leaders uses the smoke-screen of self-reliance, individualism and character to mask policies which serve the billionaire class. The cadre of conservative billionaires don't want to pay higher taxes that will be used to help "those people."
So, for 50 years or so, the Republican political strategy has been to use shinny objects -- exploit racial antagonism, getting working-class whites to despise government because it dares to help Those People. So it's amazing to see the party's elite astonished by the success of Trump who is just saying outright what the leaders consistently tried to convey with code words.
But there is already leaders who supports policies that the voters want, such as increased taxation of the rich and support for programs that help people. They're called Democrats. Also, don't be fooled by Trump's populist rhetoric. If you want to find out what a politician believes read his budget. Trump's tax-plan is the same tax-plan that Republican politicians have issued for 50 year -- they cut taxes on the wealthy. Trump stands to have millions of dollars reduced from his tax liability if his tax-plan was passed.

I don't know anyone on the "left" that says, "we need a woman as president." What I DO hear, is Mrs. Clinton is far better than anyone on the GOP side. We can see the differences in proposed policies as proof. Just go to the Tax Policy Center and review the differences between all the GOP candidates and Clinton and Sanders. The GOP candidates all have issued plans that slash taxes on the wealthy and balloon the debt. The opposite is true on the Democratic side.
We can also see it in debates. While the GOP debates seem like childish schoolyard brawls, the Democrats actually discuss issues.
If it was reworded to "Do you support additional restrictions on your 2nd Amendment right to own a gun?", then Americans would most definitely be against it.
