The White house staff and Secret Service hated her.

SMH that people still claim that all the negative things said about her were made up, fake news, attempts to stop a woman getting to the White House, etc.

Sorry, but some of us have been around too long to close our eyes and pretend these things never happened.

Yeah, I feel the same way about the President-elect.

The way I remember it, everybody hated her.

Honestly, there wasn't much change from a lot of the criticism she got as first lady, and as a presidential candidate. Loud, irritating, cold, calculating.

I would add, though, that when she was first lady people would accuse her of trying to inject her opinion into everything. People were sick of her opinions and would say "Nobody voted for you."

Republicans hated her from day one. I mean truly hated. It was a palpable thing.

I think if you were not paying attention then, it was easy to miss the character assassination that would characterize so much of her political career.

She was loathed primarily because she worked.

No, that's what she would have the public believe, thus her comment to the press that, 'I suppose I could have just stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was fulfill my profession which I entered before my husband was in public life.'

It wasn't that she worked, it's that she insinuated herself into a position of power when nobody voted her into one, and then she had to act like a victim by implying it was because she worked.

And I guess that was effective since some of you bought it. Meanwhile, she ticked off all the mothers who WERE staying home, raising their children and baking cookies - because there's not a damn thing wrong with that choice.

I was actually there, and that woman worked.

She had to, because Republicans were so busy trying to destroy her husband that every hand had to be on deck to get literally anything done.

I don't care that you believe the lies, the conspiracies, or whatever else the GOP has successfully sold you. That woman worked and still works like a goddamn machine, something that cannot be said from the party that brought us the least productive Congress in history.

Hillary never thought of herself as First Lady. She was co-president with Bill. I remember her being just as bossy, obnoxious, dishonest and full of herself as she is today.

She works alright. I never said she didn't. But she's guilty of everything I posted and even you cannot deny that or you wouldn't have come up with smoke and mirrors.
