Often- despite the crap some are pushing. The problem is the media made it about personalities- not that Hillary did. To this day I see "lefties" pushing nonsense about her elevating DT when he was mentioned as one of three who could be spoilers for more popular candidates. SOP campaign stuff is routinely demonized and made into character assasination and some of us helped this effort to discredit a good nominee. and they are doing the same to other decent Dems by continuing to equate them with the GOP.
