she was truly the definition of the lesser of two evils .
Really? Why?
She is a moderate, ok. And you could say that her response to the Lewinsky affair was contemptible. It was.
But evil? What reason is there to think that she would not have continued the professional, competent and compassionate leadership we took for granted under Obama?
Because she was responsible for plenty of mayhem as SoS, arguably leading to a coup and unnecessary deaths to our south.
I happen to disagree with that view, but it is a pretty common one on the left side of our political spectrum.
There's also the perpetual complaint about her support for the 1994 Crime Bill, for all that she was not an elected official. (I think it's a dumb complaint.)
But given that the GOP was attacking her falsely even before her husband got elected as president in 1992, it does not seem odd that she is viewed so negatively.
OTOH, if I were Biden, I would be sorely temped if I won to ask *her* to return to work!
