45. This is true

It is sadly astonishing that Hillary's, laughed off statement, back in the ninetys about there being a "vast right wing conspiracy" was so correct. That was the start of Fox News. And it grew from there. With Clear Channel buying up all the talk radio, the insolvency of Air America. They have been slowly gaining ground, DESPITE, the country electing Obama. Obama was such a likeable, family guy, that they could find no dirt on, and they tried. But he was a blip to them.

The Clinton's have been a lightening rod for backroom strategists like Rove for decades. Because their name represented so much for the Democratic party. I am disgustingly impressed that they not only stained Bill's legacy (although he had a part in it of course) but that they were able to make Hillary into a criminal evil witch. She was for years coming out on top of most admired woman in America polls. But they were able to, through their increasing lions share of talk radio, and a sensationalist TV "news" network, slowly chip away at her reputation. Keeping alive old conspiracy theories from her and Bill's past like Whitewater and taking advantage of every little mistake she made when she did make them by exaggerating and pounding home day after day how serious of an offense she was committing.

You are right. After decades of this kind of treatment, they successfully reduced her into damaged goods. Damaged enough, combined with Crosscheck, gerrymandering, ID laws, Putin, etc etc.. to barely beat her. She should have won handily, but they had successfully created a monster. Many who voted for Trump thought "I am leary of Trump as president, but I cannot in good conscience vote in such a proven criminal in Hillary Clinton, who I have been told for years now how she will destroy the country, and turn it into a Godless libtard utupia, with no gun rights".
