text: Reading Wiki hardly is digging, my friend. I did it to show her consistency: excellent student, concerned public service, ambitious: you're the one that doubted her ability! Since you're unaware, seemingly, of her more recent accomplishments, I'll mention US Senator and Sec. of State.
  If you must know, Hillary isn't even close to my favorite: that would be Sanders. There, in fact, are plenty of other Democrats--- Warren and Booker, to name just two--- that I'd similarly prefer. 
  But to suggest she's not who she is--- highly intelligent and competent, over a 40-year career of service, is blind prejudice, ignorance, and hate.
  As far as her popularity: any woman that leads pro-choice and health care initiatives for so many years can only expect such continued and unwarranted vilification. Plus, she stood by her husband, a very public Christian act. It's almost laughable to see so-called Christians hate her for that. Contrast that with Trump, the new Christian Right's Family Values Man.
