Not sure why you'd think she is disingenuous, she quietly helped millions of people fight disease etc. Isn't that what a politician should be about? Or claiming multiple bankruptcies and stiffing contractors is better?
But, otherwise she can't lie good enough for you?

She also made bad calls like the "deplorables" comment. Instead of reaching out to, what was at one point the Democratic base, she insulted them and drove them to Trump. She never spoke directly to the issues of the uneducated whites and instead she got into rambling policy speaking points. This was punctuated be the mistake of not compaigning enough in the rust belt.
The whole thing with the superdelegates and Bernie, and then later the debate questions, didn't help the growing impression that she was corrupt or "crooked". At the very least, she grew an aura of entitlement.

This is so Trump voter logic.
What could she have done? The republicans were hammering the email to their lowIQ, gullible base and it worked.
deplorables comment was her downfall? Really? Grabbing ##### ring a bell?
The 1 question at the debate swung the election? Really?
