Her biggest crime has to be somewhat of a "pioneering woman" in politics. The increasing number of women running for president have her to thank for taking the edge off the hostility that still exists toward a possible woman POTUS (even Republican Carly Fiorina). I read a poll recently taken (no idea how accurate) where a small majority of men (51% ?) of all parties, could never see a woman as president. Hillary has her faults, but nowhere near as many as most male candidates. Biil Clinton may have inadvertently started it by saying, after his inauguration, that we were "getting two for one" with him and Hillary. A lot of people jumped on that at the time. And the resentment toward "Hillarycare"....!
