Again, where does this come from? What did she do? I can see why people hate Trump, because he practically deserves the dislike he receives. From a reasonable perspective, it’s not hard to see where it came from; besides her being abrasive and desperately trying to relate to the common voter, and her current policies, for all their bluster, not being too far removed from the Goldwater Girl she was a half-century ago and doing her damnedest to keep people from noticing (the fact that the Republicans have regressed into the types that the original founders of the party were trying to fight certainly helped in this regard.) And the fact that she managed to lose the 2016 election to a goddam wrestling heel has certainly cemented her poor reputation.
However, since you asked for the roots of Republican opposition, she really didn’t need to do much of anything to gain the hate she has.
For starters, she shared the White House with the first Democratic president in 12 years, which certainly rubbed conservatives the wrong way for simply being there. And, of course, the fact that she actually tried to do something with that office, and the fact that she has remained in the public eye for trying to do things that affect policy has more or less cemented their rage-boners.
TL;DR: Hilary has her own serious flaws, but those don’t matter to the Right. All she needed to do was continue to exist and the hate train would keep rolling.

She is super republican along with Bill they have no reason to hate her to be honest. The hate itself is just a joke considering She is a blue dog democrat that only really flipped on Gay marriage only a few years ago. So yeah i agree with you.

Er, maybe because she called them a basket of deplorables? And has repeated that sentiment since the loss, including on this India trip. That might have something to do with it.

Personally, at the beginning of the election cycle I said Bill had a successful presidency, and Hillary would presumably be 8 years of the same, so unless the Republicans come up with a good candidate, I'll vote for her.
But then she went full intersectionalist, or whatever it's called. Sure didn't sound like Bill. I get that she had to go left to beat Bernie in the primaries, but the basket of deplorables bit came afterward.

LOL, trumphumpers didn't suddenly come down with hitlery hate when she accurately described them as deplorable. That was a preexisting condition.

I don't see it that way. She was pretty close to Bernie Sanders in terms of policies overall.
No, she wasn't. He talks about better healthcare and education, she talks about "pokemon go to the polls". When he loses, he goes to town halls. When she loses, she runs off into the woods. There's a big difference between them. He's currently the most popular politician in the country, and people still like trump oer Hillary. And it has to do with more than what's between their legs.

Conservatives hate anyone to the left of George W. Bush.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

As a not US citizen, but I remember the time I used to think elections there, couldn't top dumb George.
I do wait in tingling antecipation what comes next.

You argue that she wasn't close to Bernie Sanders in terms of policies, and yet you did nothing but rant about how much of a failure/disappointment she is in your eyes. You didn't actually refute what I said.

Because I was paying enough attention in 2016 to know that statement makes no sense. Their policies weren't close. Bernie was far less known, yet exploded in popularity, while Hillary barely managed to win a rigged election. The best you could say is Bernie managed to drag her towards the left.
