In my opinion, she was a major contributing factor in President's Trump's victory.
She is very savvy, smart and articulate. I'd have a lot of respect for her if she also wasn't one of the most frequent peddlers of not just spin, but also blatant bullshit and alternative facts (fiction) that I've ever seen. For people who don't follow politics and news closely, I think she also probably comes across as credible. For those of us who do follow pretty closely, it's quite a show to watch/hear her in action.
I completely agree with the savvy, smart & articulate. There's no doubt about it. I also agree that those who aren't familiar with her believe her, I've seen it first hand. I used to admire the way she would spin, it's very clever and bright, now I view her as a liar, that opinion overrides what I used to see as a brilliant bullshitter.
