At least in my opinion is that there are people in this country who were just not going to vote for her no matter what she did or said. It's like the saying goes, if you tell a lie enough times people will start to believe it. Hillary was subjected to 3 decades of vicious attacks from the right-wing media. It doesn't matter who you are, that takes a toll on how the general public perceives her even those who supported her.

Part of me wishes she had taken Bill Maher's advice and embraced the negative attacks and spin it the way Trump does and become the Notorious HRC.
