And she has been attacked viciously by the GOP and people supposedly on her side. Her politics, her liberalism, her looks, her age, her longevity, the fact that she gets criticized so therefore, she's a "lightning rod" - nothing has been off limits.

But she doesn't get mad or lash out or hold grudges. She didn't respond in kind to the negative ads, the ugly smears from hateful, misogynistic Republicans and the petty criticisms and cowardly efforts by naive Democratic candidates who fell for and bought into them to distance themselves from her. She just smiles and keeps on keeping on doing her job and taking care of business.

Badass.
