There's a good chance some other scandal would have been trumped up against her.
Republicans would have come up with some other conspiracy.
Agreed. Let's dispel with this fiction that half of America hates Hillary because of her many scandals. Hillary has so many scandals because half of America has always hated her.
And the reason is that she is a strong, intelligent political female activist in a man's world. Men are called "ambitious" and that is a good thing. An ambitious female is called many names, but certainly not anything with a positive connotation. Hillary breaks the mold, and that is simply unacceptable female behavior. Anything to try and bring her down is fair game for her detractors.
The reason is that she and her husband are both ethically challenged.
Her husband has been accused of sexual assault 17 times. She was asked to leave the Whitewater commission and was behind the sexual assault coverups. She also had her hands in most of the -gates that plagued the Clinton Administration (and no administration since). Cattle Futures, Whitewater, Lewinsky-gate, Travel-gate, file-gate, Vince Foster, china-gate, pardon-gate, the Clinton Foundation investigation, pay-for-play while she was SoS, Benghazi, her e-mail server, etc.
This brazen woman somehow "lost" the Rose Law firm records. They were just "found" on a table in the White House. The level to which the dishonest Clintons go to just boggles my mind.
And don't tell me I am a partisan. I disagree with Obama politically, but he is an honorable man that has sidestepped many of these personal scandals that have plagued Bill and Hill. There is no vast right wing conspiracy, just misconduct that brings upon these investigations.
