She was viewed favorably by both Parties. But once she announced, someone decided they didn't like her anymore.
Why is that?

The media pushes the narrative they wish. Its time something was done about the corporate propaganda machine that has helped lead us into war and have done their utmost to divide and create wide spread fear and chaos for profits.

There is no contradiction here.

(44,186 posts)Serious and respectful question.
Per Rove 101, Republican operatives attacked Kerry on his strengths.
They are doing the same thing to HRC.

(59,504 posts)There are many and everyone could list them. However, there are some things that the Clintons have done that are not good. Compared to Trump, those objections are minor.
I pretty much agree with the IG report and some of what Comey said. In neither case, do they say that what she did means she should be indicted or that it should keep us from being President.
In fact, the number 1 problem I have with the email is that she left the SD hanging - she left after there were already demands for her email taking it with her. Did she expect them to stonewall forever?
This is NOT swiftboating. First of all, it is true even if some emails existed saved by recipients. Second, this not attack a strength, but a weakness. As with missing Rose Law firm records, they contained nothing that hurt HRC, but in both cases, they were not made available without a fight.
This was a completely self inflicted wound, which luckily will not be fatal. I only wish the Democrats had defended JK half as much.

(9,527 posts)non-elected officials tend to have higher approval ratings as they aren't nearly as in the limelight.
Look at how much Bush the younger's approval rating has risen post-presidency. Likewise Condaleeza Rice always had a high approval rating even when Bush the younger was in the 20s and 30s.
