Just out of curiosity, why does everyone dislike Hillary Clinton (seeting aside partisan preferences)?



I dunno...maybe its her long history of out of the mainstream philosophy (until recently).

Maybe its her flip flopping (for lack of better term) on issues since she got elected to the Senate, in an effort to erase her rep as being out of the mainstream.

Maybe its the fact that the one public policy initiative Bill put her in charge of, health care, was a disaster.

Maybe its the fact that she was elected to the Senate in a state she didn't even live, largely-if not solely-on the basis of who she was sleeping with/married to. And the fact that anyone with half a brain can see she stayed married to the guy solely as a campaign strategy.

Maybe its the fact that she's running for President on more or less the same basis.

I live in New York. Both my Senators are Democrats, her and Schumer. Philosophically I don't much like either of them. I will say, however, that Schumer treats constituents with respect. Hillary does not.
