    She played by the party rules, which were set up to favor the party choice, which happened to be her. Wasserman-Schultz did put her finger on the scales, but that's on her and the party, not Hillary. Donna Brazile did leak a debate question, but that's on her, not Hillary (and didn't really affect the outcome).

    Her sense of entitlement, as though she was designated by God to be president. Her hijacking of the DNC. Her shady business deals. Her disdain for the law (also see Trump, Donald). Her track record as Secretary of State. Her arrogance (again, see Trump, Donald). The slimy and unethical ways in which she enriched herself and her husband. Her refusal to accept her defeat in the last election, regardless of it’s actual (and unfortunate) legitimacy. The list goes on. She does not represent my values any better than Trump, and in some ways even less so. I just don’t understand why so many people give her a free pass while holding other politicians to higher standards.

    And if you think Hillary wasn’t involved deeply in either example I have a bridge to sell you....

    She was definitely held to a much higher standard than Trump was, so let's just not go there.

    Not a real high bar but....you’re right. I’ve pretty much moved on.....or so I like to tell myself. It is what it is and we just have to deal with it.

    Are there any presidential candidates that don't have a rather high opinion of themselves?
    I guess I don't see her sense of entitlement as anything larger than, say, Mitt Romney's or John Kerry's, or Al Gore's, etc.
    But these are just our opinions - there's no actual way to know what she or any other candidate truly believes.

    There is something to object to there, but I believe she hijacked it according to party rules.

    I believe those were investigated at great length and there was no there there found. I know that Trump hasn't been charged with a crime yet either, but which one do you honestly think is more likely to happen?

    This is in my view a legitimate area to base an objection, however do you really think it is equal or worse than Trump's track record as president?

    I think these have been addressed above.

    This is just nonsense - she accepted defeat, and called Trump to congratulate him. She attended his inauguration, for gods sake.

    Does Scott Pruitt represent your values? Do you think she would have appointed someone as venal as Pruitt? 100 other examples etc etc.

    Even if she was (I don't think we actually have evidence to prove or disprove), which is worse, colluding with your own party, or colluding with a foreign power?

    It's possible to dislike a lot of people. Unfortunately many are in Trumps administration. What threat is Hilary? What threat is Trump? One is still in power, the other has no power.

    Just having fun with it. My guess is the original issue with you/Marz being quoted was just an editing error.
