19. After the election,
everyone jumped all over Hillary and itemized all the mistakes she made, but at the time I thought she ran a really good campaign. Obviously, there is always room for improvement, but compared to 2008, I thought she did an excellent job. The media coverage on Hillary and her campaign was pretty lame and the focus was often on her emails.
My primary criticism at the time was Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and her limited debates schedule during the primaries. After that, I thought the campaign was professional and effective.
Now I hear people on TV blasting Hillary and her book, saying she should just shut up and go away. This is the same media that treated her like crap for decades. I am amazed she stayed in politics for so long. My feelings about her have been mixed over the years, sometimes very positive and others quite negative, but right now I admire her more than ever. I say this as someone who was not a huge supporter of her as a presidential candidate, but accepted that she would be a competent president.
