Popularity contests are what the people want instead of making decisions based on actual qualifications.

About 5(?) elections back there was a web site that had 20-25 questions on the issues with 4-6 responses each and based on your choices it would give you back the candidate in the primaries that best matched your thoughts on those issues. I know of no one who got a result from that site that matched who they were considering voting for that cycle. My wife and I had 2 different candidates in mind that we "liked" and that site gave us a result that converged on someone that we had discounted. Yet after thinking it through, we realized it was actually accurate, but that the candidate had no chance in what was just another popularity contest.

I still just don't understand why Hillary was such anathema to so many people; I mean in addition to the good-old-boy network which is never going to suffer the presence of a woman having such power and position.

People just like to hate.

I can give you two explanations that may or may not work for you and may or may not be couched in any sort of reality.

Explanation #1 The Republicans resented how she and her husband were just far more efficient at being slimeball politicians then any of them were or would ever have any chance of being, no matter how low they stooped to get there.

Explanation #b Thirtyfive years of being the right wingers favorite straw man to whip up there base would make Jesus Christ "anathema to so many people".

In addition, I'll bet it won't take seven congressional investigations to find something far more damning on the current crop of leaders of the free world than the absolutely nothing Trey Goudy was able to come up with on her.

Which is the most common way of seeing.

Not my experience--never had opposition from the fathers.
I had one dad ask me to, "Take her and don't bring her back." She was an interesting date. After the first date, she would call and ask things like this, "Would you like to go out Saturday?" I would say, "Yes, what time?" Typical response, "Seven AM and bring a shovel."

OK, I'll bite: what did she have in mind, for the shovel?

Digging up long-dead people, she was an archeologist.
