    Republicans started a campaign against Hillary at the the start of Bill Clinton’s Presidency. The playback to hurt Bill, who they had no answer for, was simular to what they are doing to Hunter Biden now. They knew she was smart and Bill was using her as an advisor. They investigated her and trash talked her for years. This gradually embedded itself into the American psyche so when she did start to achieve on her own, the Republican myths surfaced. You can still still see see them in this string.

      Republicans didn’t force her to collude with the DNC to tamper with the primary. Nor did they force her to campaign on such gems as “$15/hr minimum wage is too high” and “we don’t need universal health care” and “if you don’t vote for me you’re sexist.”

        Also refusing to condemn the Iraq war as a mistake was a HUGE no no for me. I will never forgive any prominent politicians involved in the pointless war.
