I mean, sure, she's like -eww- a politician. But her bad qualities just mean she brings the right skill set to the job.
So, being in the pocket of big business, the prison industrial complex and Wall St. are good skills to have?
No but being able to negotiate with big business et al is important for anyone wishing to lead away from the status quo toward something better. Merely condemning the players in the current drama for their excesses when the law allows it is unproductive. You can't get to somewhere better by touting lofty moral values and expecting those currently benefitting from it to just apologize and desist. Won't happen. Nor can you just lock up the ones who would deserve it in a perfectly moral world. In this world you have to first shape the laws to enforce the changes you want to see. Contrary to what the repubs are always harping on, regulations are important - even if we can all think of instances when they are not convenient. You need someone with some aptitude for policy wonking. She's pretty good and she is married to someone even better. (And I don't think Bill will be baking cookies in his capacity as first spouse any more than she did.)
