The right wing started vilifying Hillary from the moment Bill stepped into the white house in January of 93 because they knew she was smart, capable and ambitious.

This country has to wake up to how they mold opinion through the never ending churn of right wing media and how the general media legitimizes it.

After 20+ years of relentlessly screeching about her people she was very weak as a public figure (not weak personally) and perceived as "unlikeable."

Not her fault.
