5. Hillary has a reputation

Whether it's deserved or not (it's not), she has one because for over a quarter of a century, republicans have done everything they can to paint her in a negative light, and to some extent it was successful because networks will gladly show her in hearing after hearing, and whether she does well in them or not (she did), just being called before congress will have a negative connotation, and then after weeks of coverage, they'll spend a minute or two about her being exonerated or not having the charges proved or not. I'm going to have to give republicans credit - I think they knew what they were doing - probably recognized early on that she was politically ambitious and would be just as effective as Bill so they took steps to derail her.

And that reputation worked well for Trump's line of attack which is primarily projection. Biden is cool Uncle Joe and has a calming demeanor. It's harder for Trump to hit him.
