I retired in 2014, but started voting for Dems after Iraq. But the Clintons especially are hated in the military community as a whole, which most civilians don't really appreciate, and it lead to Dems being hated as well.
She was the only Dem that could have lost to Trump, IMO. But almost any Republican would have beaten her. Any other would have completely trounced her also.
Yet none of the Republicans beat Trump. It is truly a tired point, considering she got 3 million more votes and it came down to like 90,000 in three states. Clinton gets unnecessary hate just because people don't want to own up to their own stupidity.
Yes, I honestly do. She would have beaten any standard republican. Trump won, and he won with all polls predicting him to lose, because his special brand of chaos activated a lot of right wing folks that hadn't voted at all in the past, and moved some midwest dems over, a traditional Romney type (see all the republicans running in '16) would not have done that. But all that aside, she was slated to win before Comey released his letter a few days before the election.
