IMO, Hillary is a massive narcissist, which isn't recognized as much simply because she is dwarfed on that by trump.
But to more important things: I have always said she had serious problems regarding her lack of honesty, her support for plutocracy, her warmongering, and her appearance to be a sociopath, again dwarfed by trump.
It says something about how bad the Republicans are - how entirely corrupt in their support of the greatest threat to our country, plutocracy, that I felt it was very important we pick her over trump, and pushed for that choice (as Bernie did, hard as he campaigned for her more than anyone).
Her supporters were in many cases disgraceful as well - supporting cheating in the 2016 election, making false attacks against Bernie.
Hillary and her supporters demanded party unity to support her when she somewhat narrowly won the primary - even though 25% of HER supporters did not support Obama in 2008.
Yet Bernie strongly supported that unity like perhaps never seen before from a primary opponent, and despite so many of his supporters being outside the Democratic Party, far more, an estimated 90%, voted for Hillary. But would she have had that same unity for Bernie? Now we know.
She has recently given an interview in which she betrays any hint of that unity, showing a complete lack of appreciation for Bernie's hard work to help her, attacking him with lies and 'Bernie bros' poison, and perhaps most notably, saying she will NOT commit to supporting him if he wins the nomination.
So much for unity from HER. She is offering nothing to the party or the country, only personal hatred that is baseless toward the best leader our country has. She would apparently rather see trump win re-election than Bernie Sanders.
This is a good reminder how we had two horrible choices in 2016. She would have been better than trump on most things - too many to list, but start with judges, the environment, healthcare and borrowed tax cuts for the rich - but she would have been very bad, I suspect, as well. The phrase we weren't supposed to say, 'lesser evil'.
I haven't changed my position that Bernie supporters, as he said, should have voted for her in 2016 over trump, but she has made clear how bad she is with these comments, how poisonous for the party and the country.
This doesn't make Republicans right in their lies about her, or in their being even worse, but it does show her lack of values and character. She is deplorable.
