What happened?

6 years ago the Clintons had very high approval ratings even among republicans. People had nostalgia about the Clinton presidency. Hillary was the most admired woman in America. Even republicans were praising them. I can remember them crying that Obama wasn't like the Clintons. They tried to tie themselves to his legacy. Now she the second most unpopular presidential candidate.

I guess the media/republicans did a good job of tearing them down.

And the press is just now doing to her what they did to Gore in 2000. This is what happens when you don't fluff your press pool.
