My main objection now is the idea that she did anything other than bring a lot of the humour and ridicule — leaving aside the vitriol — directed at her on herself. As I've said several times before, there is no-one else to blame for that but herself, and she is very unintentionally amusing. This is why many outsiders of varying political hues found it, and find it, totally amazing that she should have risen to such prominence. For what it's worth, no-one in the UK would ever take Joe Biden seriously as a candidate after his Neil Kinnock plagiarism gaffe, but there is far less humour, and thus serious ridicule, potential in him.
