Hillary Supporters Go Ballistic On CNN Editor For Writing About Why Clinton Still Sucks Matt Vespa Posted: Dec 20, 2017
As we wrote yesterday, Hillary Clinton is still immensely unpopular. In fact, she’s hit her lowest mark ever in Gallup’s survey. Her favorable rating is at a dismal 36 percent. So, why is Hillary still sucking with voters, or at least voters who aren’t Democratic? Granted, she was never really that popular on the campaign trail. The more she was in the spotlight, the more unpopular she became. CNN’s Chris Cillizza had four reasons:
1. The 2016 race has never really ended
On Monday, President Trump saw fit to mention his 2016 victory while laying out his national security strategy for the country. Trump talks about his "electoral landslide" on an, at least, weekly basis -- ensuring that people never forget about what all sides agree was an incredibly nasty campaign.

2. Clinton isn't sorry
The publicity tour around Clinton's memoir of the campaign -- "What Happened?" -- had a very clear message from Clinton: Yes, I lost. But, it's wasn't entirely (or even close to entirely) my fault.

3. She is the last Republican boogeyman
For years and years -- long before Clinton ran for president in 2008 and 2016 -- she was one of a handful of Democrats that all Republicans a) knew and b) hated.

4. We're still too close to it all
It's been a year and a few days since Clinton lost one of the most knockdown, drag-out presidential races ever.
These are good points; especially the unapologetic attitude the former first lady has taken on the book tour, where she has blamed James Comey, the FBI, the media, sexism, Russia, and the Democratic National Committee for her defeat, but she accepts responsibility, or something. It’s really a grudging apology—if you can call it that. Yes, the GOP does not like her, but it spills into Independent territory as well. In that Gallup survey, only 27 percent of Independents view Hillary favorably. It could be that she’s just unlikable. READ ON
