Dan, you're a nice guy and I see where you're coming from, many people are nice enough in a social setting....I suppose there are those who think President Bush a nice man to speak to and have a laugh with, same could be said of Tony Blair(well maybe not TB)but you get my meaning.

The problem is that Mrs Clinton made some exceptionally bad decisions in Office, the worst being the push to turn US firepower on the recognised government of Libya, with disastrous results.
She compounded that by joking about the horrific death of Col Gaddafi, a serious flaw in someone who aspires to statesmanship.

There were other serious mistakes which have been detailed above, all in all her CV is questionable.
It could also be argued that Team Clinton used their position, foolishly offered by President Obama, to undermine him and pave the way for a tilt at the presidency by a Hawkish Hillary.

Politics is a rather grubby game and really nice people within it are as scarce as hens teeth.

Some may think that my opinions on this subject are invalid due to the fact that I am Scottish, not American, but our countries and their foreign policies are bound together through NATO.... and who is in charge of the Yankee Button is of great importance to us.
