        Maybe it has something to do with corruption, lies, disastrous wars, etc.

        Instead of your question, ask yourself why the elites and media refuse to acknowledge her errors?

        @NewYorker Embodies all that is insincere and self serving in modern politicians? Not alone on that front, almost a pre-requisite.

        Enjoyed some of your work. But you are clueless about what is happening in politics apparently.

        Learn her record on the issues popular on the left today. It's horrifying. That's why the left hates her.

        Well, I guess some people don't find her sincere. That's probably the root reason...just my opinion.

        She is the wife of a former president running for president. She is the quintessential and shameless manifestation of oligarchy.

        Because she's a corrupt plutocrat that hungers for power, and as Anderson Cooper put it:"Will say anything to get elected."

        That's something rare. It isn't just smoke, there is substance to why she is hated on the left.

        @NewYorker The voice of reason doesn't hate Hilary. It just describes her as NOT competent.

        Famous political figure hated by the opposite party? That's to be expected. Hated by own party?
