Reply #115: That makes so little sense one could almost call it "anti-sense"

You state right there many of the dynamics by which she accrues enemies, yet claim that she doesn't do anything of the sort. What do you think "polarizing" is?

By sucking up to the conservatives for years upon years, the Clintons have not really accomplished their task: the right still hates them. Worse, many of the left see them for what they are: calculated, extreme maneuverers.

She's an ultra-moderate, yet even many in the middle don't like her. How'd she do that? I guess even fence-sitters don't like people who set up housekeeping atop fences, especially when they consistently deny it to people on either side of the palings.

Yes, she's got a great base of support among women, among some moderate leftists fixated on rubbing the reactionaries' noses in their antics of the 90s by forcing another Clinton on them, among suckers who actually think she's anything but a somewhat right-of center centrist moderate corporatist, and that's about it. The left doesn't like her, the right HATES her. People who dislike evasiveness can't stand her. There are probably more misogynists out there than we'd all like to believe, although I think the country is perfectly ready to elect a women to the presidency.

Your post makes no sense whatsoever. She's incredibly polarizing. Her actions and inactions have rankled many people from many different political footings, and the carousel is creaking under the sheer weight of the baggage.

It's not the big "them" that did this to her, at least not completely. Yes, she has been demonized, but it's stuck. Her actions and her oscillation between a flinty-harsh and glowingly warm persona have driven many to the point of exasperation.
