27. I don't understand where the vitriol against Clinton is coming from

I get that some people may prefer Sanders to her but I don't get why she is being treated by some Sanders supporters as though she were a Republican or at least indistinguishable from being a Republican (or just plain evil incarnate). She is obviously not as left-wing as Bernie is but I don't think that anybody can make a serious/credible case that a Hillary presidency would be indistinguishable from, say, a Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio presidency in terms of the policies she would promote, the SCOTUS nominations she would make, etc.
