An unpopular candidate that won the popular vote in 2016?
She was so politically inept that she didn't take the electoral college into account. This is what happens when party leadership decides the winner before the primaries. They nominate someone who runs a coronation parade instead of a campaign.
After boosting trump in the primary because she thought he was her easiest opponent...
She was willing to risk trump winning because it was her best chance to be president.
But even that wasn't enough to get her in office due to her campaign team not understanding what the electoral college is and instead campaigning for the popular vote...
Which pretty much sums up why she's so unpopular. She gambled with America and lost because she wanted to be able to say she got more votes than Obama.
Again, that's something that would have happened organically because of constant population increase.
She was the favorite of the superdelegates/party darlings as well. Also she by far isn't the only Democrat who helps the insane GOP candidates, that's like a common strategy to give money to the insane fascist, a bunch of Dem campaigns do this.
