3. I would love for the media to a least recognize Hillary was the most admired woman in the world

10 years straight.

Also, prior to 2 years of 24/7 corporate media bashing, Hillary left the state department with a 69% approval rating among the public and was constantly being asked if she'd run for president. The day she announced it was a Republican feeding frenzy to take her down that has only abated at this time while Donald Trump continues to take the headlines. Manufactured scandals and 24 hour character defamation has gotten her to this "unlikable" narrative.

A lot to read... but worth it! NurseJackie Aug 2016 #1
