Many people don't like Clinton because she's in the model of the "triangulating Democrat," meaning someone who will stand up for traditional Democratic principles when it benefits her. I wonder what good it does to elect a Democrat who doesn't act like a Democrat much of the time. That said, I recognize Clinton would be a far better president than anyone the Republicans can offer. Just like any other candidate, Clinton has to face criticism for her public statements and actions, and the giggling or snickering was something to question. It's not "hating" to question why she would react that way. I would rather see Bernie Sanders get the nomination, but I'll happily vote for Clinton is she's the nominee.
