No, it's because she isn't running on big ideas and doesn't have an inspiring vision for America.
Remind me of the last great president we had that ran on "getting the job done."
Lincoln, Jefferson, Wilson, FDR, and even Reagan had grand visions for America. Even Obama is inspring in this regard.
But Clinton represents the status quo and is the quintessential politican. There is nothing about her to get excited about other than her beating Trump, so that's why you see such little passion for her.
This isn't to say she couldn't end up being a decent president, but I'm just explaining why people aren't excited or passionate about her.

Uh, have you seen her rallies? There's a SHIT TON of excitement. It's not the same demographics of the typical Bernie supporter, but that doesn't mean that people aren't excited. Blacks, Hispanics, women, etc. are VERY excited to have HRC be the nominee. That's why she is winning and Bernie isn't.

People are excited at rallies. They are there to get excited.
Also, more people have voted for HRC but Bernie has drawn bigger crowds so rallies are probably a poor example to use.
And I think Trump has actually drawn the most 'excitement' of any candidate, for better or worse.

You said she wasn't running on big ideas and that there was nothing exciting about her. I said you suffered from confirmation bias which is why you are seemingly incapable of seeing why she's an exciting candidate.
I was wrong about a lot of things this election, but I wasn't wrong about this.
Hillary Clinton was never an exciting candidate.
Bernie and Trump filled stadiums with populist uprisings, and Clinton gave us more of the old, tired political bullshit that didn't really inspire anyone or resonate with Americans.
