One of the most Ethical (and most lied about) political leader

I just think much of the ill will toward Hillary is the direct result of a deliberate strategy on the part of the RNC to cast shade on Hillary going back a very long time.  "Crooked Hillary" is only the latest iteration.  Of course I can't know to what degree your own displeasure with her is owing to that.  But they are deliberately exploiting a way our brains work and that could factor in.

Look, when I woke up this morning I finally realized why people were upset with Hillary over the DNC leaked emails.  (Sure wish someone had made the connection for me sooner.)  To immediately hand a job in her campaign to the woman who had been working for her in a role where she should have been fair to both candidates was extremely insensitive.  What the DNC did didn't shock me, but her handling of it is disappointing and shows lack of any genuine concern for ever achieving election reform in this country.

I don't see her as bad as someone like Trump is obviously, and better her than Trump or any Republican. But I think just reading the words "most ethical" got to me personally because it felt like an insult to my intelligence. And that article was clearly apologetic bullshit. My brain just can't accept it.

As for the DNC leaked emails, that's not why I dislike her. I disliked her long before that.
