But what has ever actually panned out as some specific examples of why Hillary is so hated?

As someone who voted for her, she has some pretty big flaws. The biggest one I hear, she has huge lobbying ties. She takes in millions a year, and has for decades along with her husband from various corporations across America. For example her annual income is somewhere around 30 mill, where as Bernie is sitting at just under 500k, mostly because she takes corporate money. She is probably going to start more wars in the Middle East, she is willing to put more troops on the ground, and try to increase military presence. Just a couple, and nothing like what trumps pulling off, but generally a sub par candidate

Can’t speak for everyone, but Hillary and Bill Clinton both have a pretty bad reputation with the black community due to previous policies and statements. The votes cast her way weren’t so much because she was a good candidate, but a lesser, known evil.
