I am of the opinion that Clinton ran a solid campaign.

22. Her "negatives" are the result of her running for POTUS

I get your point and that was a big part of why I voted Bernie, but if you track Hillary's favorability it tracks directly with her being public enemy number 1 for republicans. When BHO held that mantle her favorability actually was pretty high.

Once he won re-election and they refocused on her it dipped, once she announced and they were 100 percent focused on her it bottomed out. Side note to that, you see a correlating increase in BHO's favorability.

The axis of conservative lunacy and hate and a complicant media destroys pretty much any D short of Bill or BHOs charm.

They destroyed decent, honorable, intelligent men like Gore, Kerry and Dean ...

Maybe Bernie would have nudged it out, but make no mistake, just as BHO got slandered and piled on for the Reverand whoever it was, the flagpin, and whatever other crap, Bernie absolutely would have been drug into the mud, too.

Hillary is a good person and for a lifelong politician has done a LOT of good things. She ran a solid campaign, was pretty good overall and didn't make too many gaffes (all pols make some).

This country just is that fucking far gone that it gobbles up right wing bullshit and asks for more.
