I really don't get it. I never have. It seems irrational to me. He was a hero of the party for so long. I took pride in his family's ability to withstand the most vile and incessant attacks on a public figure I have ever seen. I took pride that he presided over relative peace and prosperity. I took pride that he left with talk about what to do with surpluses rather than how much a hard-hit populace must sacrifice even more to bail out the big corps who have screwed the little guy as sport.

He took out an incumbent repuke, and while many may not have agreed with everything he did, he left with huge approval ratings. And as a fork in the eye of the repuke slime machine, Hillary ran a great campaign and became a US Senator.

What is the source of the deep-seated hatred toward these one time and current stars of our party? Where does it come from? Please, I'm not trying to rehash anything, I'm not trying to start a flame war, and I ask everyone responding to this to be respectful of others responding to this thread. I'm simply trying to understand something I have witnessed here for months, that I've never really understood.

What is with the hate for the Clintons?
