But the reality is Clinton was plenty likable at key moments in her career. Most notably, one of the main reasons the Democratic Party rallied around her so hard in 2014-15 is that when she was secretary of state, her approval ratings were far higher than Barack Obamas, and she was an in-demand midterms surrogate even in states where he was toxic. . . .
What brought Clinton down was public exposure not to her personality which was sparkling enough to make her the most admired woman in America for 17 years straight before losing the claim to Michelle Obama in 2018 but extended public scrutiny of every detail of a decades-long career in public life.
All of those most-admired polls should be taken with a grain of salt. To be the most admired woman in America, Michelle Obama had to be volunteered by 15 percent of respondents as the woman they most admire. If youre polarizing enough, you can be the modal answer while still being unpopular. Hillary Clinton was most admired last year with 9 percent. Gallup asked Americans if they had a favorable or unfavorable view of her twice last year, and 57 and 61 percent chose unfavorable in those polls.
Glancing over the last three decades of polling on Clinton, she had three peaks: when her husband was elected president for the first time and she enjoyed the traditional popularity of a First Lady; during the Lewinsky scandal, when she had public sympathy as a wronged wife; and when she was Secretary of State, a role that traditionally places people above partisan politics. I dont think most Americans ever thought of her personality as sparkling.

“What brought Clinton down was public exposure not to her personality which was sparkling enough to make her the most admired woman in America for 17 years straight”
what a total crock of bullshit ... Hillary’s totally fake image was carefully cultivated by keeping her hidden from the public as much as possible and issuing constant press releases plus careful exposure by the lying leftist fake stream enemedia
during the 2016 election, the same strategy was followed until the very end when it was evident to her handlers that she might very well lose ... at that point, the more exposure Hillary got, the more evident it was that she was a very unlikable person with zero genuine human empathy for anyone but herself, and she can across as robotic, monotonic and shrill, and with zero overall ideas for effective governance ...
hal ogen @2,
Convicted traitors should be publicly hanged. But for someone like Hillary, where would be a place big enough to hold the enormous crowd of celebrants who come to watch?

Puttin’ lipstick on a ...
LOL!
At the time, the Clintons kept top secret all the gory details of Hillary's political ambitions and what the
Clintons were preparing to do would do to advance her using the Clinton Foundation and the US govt apparat.
They were quite the pair back then------Hillary looked like she "standing by her man"but the truth was
something else. Her own ambitions were going down the drain---she was not about to let could that happen.
One Clinton lies.....
"I never had sexual relations with that woman...Miss Lewinsky."
And the other Clinton swears to it.
Standing by her man (sniffle). Hillary KNEW his sexual abuse was true---
the Clintons took a secret a poll and were advised to lie as long as they could.
=============================================
VINTAGE TIME COVER The Clintons leave the WH
arm-in-arm after Bill got lewinskied. Plotting to exploit
Bill's BJ for votes, the Clintons' political apparat never faltered.
That smirk on Hillary's face tells the story.
Hillary later went on network TV all decked out in virginal pearls,
denying everything, blaming Billy's B/J on "an invention of a VRWC."
Bill later admitted to it, was impeached, and disbarred.
He had to pay Paula Jones 850,000 dollars.
Oh NR, how far thee hath fallen ...
There are two that really “endure” with me. The face plant getting on the plant and the “Keep On Trunkin’” walk down the stairs in shower shoes. Funny, funny “enduring” stuff.
Slick may well have coerced Monica. So where's the femiNazis? They gave Slick a pass when they should have been
up in arms about boorish behavior from an alpha male, serial predator they despise.
Clinton lied about that subornation as well while under oath.
MORE EGREGIOUSLY.....Slick even went so far as to have Lewinsky give Linda Tripp written instructions,
coaching Linda on how to properly perjure herself in the Willey matter. (Linda didnt buy it.)
===============================
THE LIST GOES ON AND ON: Bill's intimate pal, Vernon Jordan, arranged a $40,000-per-year cushy government job for Lewinsky shortly
after she signed ......but before she filed...... a falsified affidavit saying she had NOT had sex with the president.
As insurance, Clinton had another pal, his Ambassador to the United Nations, Bill Richardson,
personally visit Lewinsky at the Watergate to offer her a government job to shut her up.
======================================
AND THIS---Then-First Lady Hillary went hog wild with tax dollars. She set up what she called a "Bimbo Eruption Team" in the West Wing of the White House composed of tax-paid govt workers including then-Clinton aide George Stephanopolous....now at ABC-TV. The tax-paid West Wing office office operated for eight long years.....and did nothing but shoot down, demean, defame and lacerate any woman who dared surface about Bill's sexual activities.
These expenditures of tax dollars saved Bill's presidency, got Hillary elected to the US Senate, and gave Hillary the prominence she needed to launch the rest of her political ambitions.
Attorney David Schippers was asked by his friend, Congressman Henry Hyde, to be Chief Investigative Counsel
for the US House Judiciary Committee. Schippers, a lifelong Democrat, accepted and took the job in April 1998.
The Hyde Committee was holding an inquiry on whether Clinton had committed impeachable offences in his handling
of the Paula Jones sexual harassment suit..... during which Clinton committed perjury regarding his affair with
Monica Lewinsky. The committee in December 1998 voted to impeach Clinton........a decision supported by Schippers.
On December 10, 1998, Schippers said to the committee: The President, then,
<><> has lied under oath in a civil deposition,
<><> he lied under oath in a criminal grand jury.
<><> he lied to the people,
<><> he lied to his Cabinet,
<><> he lied to his top aides,
<><> and now he's lied under oath to the Congress of the United States.
There's no one left to lie to."
Unfortunately its not just her legs that are locked up.
POTUS Trump saying Clinton has “been through enough” is haunting us as those words unleashed the full “resistance”,#NeverTrump and Mueller etc.
The Russian’s must have paid her in gold for the uranium one deal.
Turns out the word I left out is Didgerdiroo.
Cyborg, she dropped a screw or some metallic part out of her pants leg in that video.
So thats why dogs freak out around her!
And here I thought it was because she smelled like cooked cabbage.
Every detail?
One would love to know if the "Arkancide" accusations just might be true, and if so, what are the details buried within?
.
It’s a testament to the culture of personality in America that this wretched , utterly amoral,power hungry and grasping harridan who has accomplished nothing positive in her life is held in such esteem.
