“I am not a natural politician, in case you haven’t noticed, like my husband or President Obama," Hillary Clinton said. Clinton: 'I am not a natural politician'

Hillary Clinton said she's not more popular after decades in politics because she is not naturally gifted at it.

“I am not a natural politician, in case you haven’t noticed, like my husband or President Obama," Clinton said during Wednesday night's debate, when asked why voters do not see her as honest or trustworthy.

Clinton has often said decades of built-up Republican attacks on her character have contributed to those feelings in polls.

"Look, I have said before and it won't surprise anybody to hear me say it, this is not easy for me," Clinton said. "It's not easy to do what I think is right to help people, to even the odds, to hear a story like the woman's story we just heard and to know that I can make a difference and I want to in every way possible."
