Mixed in the stories about Hillary Clinton, you will see the personal,"feel good" stories. For example, there's the story of when she went undercover in the south to expose racism in school admissions. I read a story once about Clinton attending a memorial service in NY for a woman who as a victim of domestic violence (or something like that). She didn't make any big fan fare, and came and sat quietly in the back. She was just there because she heard about the woman and wanted to pay her respects. Looking around I found this story about her (when she was senator) fighting to help a cancer patient who was getting taken advantage of by the hospital

And then there are the stories about her responses to little girls, and they are absolutely great. For example, the little girl who told her she was going to change her name to Lillary, in order to be president, and Hillary told her to not change her name to be president.

That's from October, so not some random tidbit pulled up from long ago.
Here's a case where Clinton wrote a letter to thank a blogger for destigmatizing things like herpes.

And the other week she had her comment about how the vitriol in this race makes you want to hide away and watch cat gifs. That's not a personal interaction, but it is a very humanizing statement (especially when she said she has watched a lot of cats doing crazy things).
Yeah, they are sappy and probably manipulative, but then again, does it matter if she tries to help a cancer patient because she cares or because it is just politically expedient?
In contrast, where are the Donald feel good stories? His kids attest that he is a wonderful father, but where's the anecdote to illustrate it? Instead, we get that he showed up at an AIDS benefit and took a seat on stage, despite having contributed nothing. Or that he gave a fundraising group a phony million dollar bill, $200 in cash and left them thousands short of their fundraising goal. Oh sure, he "created jobs" but even there we here more about how he stiffed the people he hired.
It's common to hear people talk about politicians saying how that, when you interact with them, they make you feel like you are the most important person in the room. Reagan had it, the Bushes both had it, Bill Clinton, Obama, as well as other elected officials. With Trump, however, it's not even clear that anyone even interacts with him, and if they do, we know who is always going to be the most important person in the room, and it's not you.
