I think if someone asked me why I don't like President Bush, and I answered, "Because his ears stick out and he can't pronounce the word nuclear," those would seem like silly reasons.
I agree, they are silly reasons, but there are dozens of books out there full of stupid things the President says. Usually when I ask people who don't like Bush why, they say he's an idiot. I'll ask them to explain why, and 99% of the time they'll reference the way he talks.
Silly little things make a big impression on people. People can like of dislike Hillary because of her politics, or for any other reason. I dislike her for a variety of reasons, but one of them is not because she's a woman. I'm getting tired of hearing that as a defense: you just don't like to see a powerful woman. It's not true. I'd love to see more powerful women, just not that woman.
