Here's an alternate take: see if you can follow along.
1. We don't want or need the "most transparent person ever" as president of the biggest office in the western world. If we did, wouldn't base our election process on who tells the biggest and best lies on television. We deliberately hire the candidate who obfuscates and hides their actions, and the actions of this country, better than anyone.
2. The power of the person is measured by the strength and determination of his or her enemies. Given the length and depth of the anti Clinton political attack machine that stretches back several decades now, I'd say that makes Hillary Wonder Woman. What better person to have in charge than one who can't be wounded by political hijinx.
3. Unlike her opponents, there is nothing left to expose on Hillary. We've seen her ugliest already. Over and over. If there was more to find we would know it, or will soon. Therefore, by virtue of the exceedingly thorough vetting at the hands of her foes, Hillary IS the most transparent person we can possibly find for the job.
4. I've said this before and it bears repeating. Anyone who is bent because "she lies" is infantile. Of course she lies. She is a politician and diplomat to foreign powers. It's pretty much the job description. Hell, the Pope lies. George Washington lied like crazy. We don't want a person who can not lie for THAT job, we want the one who lies better than anyone else.
5. We also want the person in the office who WANTS it more than anything else in the world and will do well at it. And there is nobody on this planet who wants it more than her.

Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
