You overlook that the media almost literally worship Hillary, and that a Hillary candidacy would energize them as they have never been energized before. And they would innoculate her against any criticism by making the point you make - she is a bogeyman for conservatives, and that would just make opposition to her seem reactionary and mean-spirited, strengthening her even more. 90% of the women in the media TOTALLY identify with Hillary, and she would be promoted by the media as no one else has ever been promoted before.

Actually, I consider the liberal media's impact on this. Whats clear is even with that "help" nothing has changed. Her negatives in the polling data remain historical "highs" that will never change (Teddy Kennedy has the exact same problem, for example).

And as we know, the "liberal media" has lost a ton of crediblity with average Americans. Its reached critical mass, which is why the ratings for ABC/CBS/NBC have declined for two decades...with that decline speeding up as more cable news outlets like Fox, and the internet, grew among the masses.

Its common for humans to prepare to fight the last war. I view this in much the same light. The "Clinton Wars" have ended, some just don't realize it because it appears they "got off the hook". Maybe they didn't go to jail, and yes Hillary does hold public office for the moment. But consider just how many Democrats actively supported by the Clinton's have won or lost elections since they came into office in 1992.

That number alone debunks the "Hillary is coming, and we are doomed" stuff, in my opinion.
