How the Media Manufactured Hatred of Hillary Clinton

[Motown_Johnny]

33. The most trying odds of any candidate in a presidential election in an incumbent year?!?!?!?!?

Care to back up that statement?



My bone of contention is that Hillary was supported by big money and political insiders far more than the base. Your statement about the base supporting her seems to be in error.

Hillary did not get negative coverage. Only her hero worshiping devotees think so.

Remember that big story about her flip flop on ethanol subsidies? You know... Seventeen votes in the Senate one way then switching positions in Iowa during the primary.

Remember that one? Neither does anyone else.. because it was never covered.

How about her evolution on marriage equality? She called marriage a "Sacred" bond between a man and a woman, then evolved on that stance after polls had marriage equality approval well above 50%.

Guess what. Sacred is the correct word when referring to the Sacrament of Marriage but it has no place in a discussion about civil marriage. The media just let her slide on that one. No need to explain that flip.

Yes, there were some negative stories about her because she was a terrible candidate. Over all, the media went easy on her.

She wasn't dragged down to Trump's level. When the entire country's positions are taken into account, she was already there. Yes, I voted for her because she would have been the lesser of two evils, and yes it is a fair comparison.

If you look at her record, she has gotten a lot of things wrong the first time and then taken way too long to figure out she was wrong. It is very possible she would have been a terrible President. We will never know.

P.S. Sorry if this breaks the "Hillary Is Perfect" Rule (thinly disguised as the "No Bashing Democrats" Rule) but the discussion turned into a debate about Hillary as a nominee. I see no other way to address this other than to point out her weak points. Hide it if you must, but the truth will still exist, even if this post doesn't.
