I agree she was qualified, but extremely so? I’m not seeing it.

So many republicans liked her before the elections. For examples:
Mike Huckabee called her a “policy genius”.
David Petraeus said she’d make a “tremendous” president.
Condoleeza Rice said “she’s very tough”, “she’s got the right instincts”.
Lindsey Graham said she is “extremely well respected throughout the world” and has a work ethic “second to none”. He also said that she was "one of the most effective secretary of states, greatest ambassadors for the American people that I have known in my lifetime."
John McCain called her an “international star” who did a “tremendous job” as secretary of state.

But come election cycle, the republicans decided to trash her so they could have Trump instead. I still am in shock over it. With all due respect to the many basically good republican people around the country, I can’t help but consider a vote for Trump over Hillary to be extreme gullibility at best, and/or frankly disgusting. Which leaves me with unanswered questions about my own U.S. culture that produced this behavior. By all logic and morals, this should have been the easiest vote ever.
