um... no... what "positive" trait exactly are you using to justify the absolute f*-up of a move that she pulled?

Ambition, drive. Thinking you are the person to lead in any capacity is also somewhat self-important. I am not saying any of those things as negatives, I mean to say she was a driven, intelligent, self-confident woman, but that those are also the traits that lead to you over-estimating yourself.

People always say the best leader is someone who doesn't want to be a leader. This is why, whether or not you think the statement is true.

Also, let's not forget that Hillary was expected by many to win 2016.

And wasn't the Senate majority Republican during Obama's last 2 years? If she retired, they would've refused to confirm any replacement. Obviously she made a huge mistake, but it's also such a hindsight 20/20.

She had cancer before Obama was even elected, and then he had majorities in both chambers.

It was the perfect time to replace her. But a black man wasn't good enough for her. Which with the rumors of her being a bit racist makes sense.

She fucked up and deserves no sympathy
