What specifically about that section did you want to share? Based on what I've read, the only defense is basically "she never said she was going to help people so you can't be mad".

People losing trust in and feeling ignored by politicians is what brought us Trump. Some people voted for him because they liked that he wasn't a typical "politician", other people voted for him out of protest.
