She's got style

Ernest Hemingway said: "Style is grace under pressure."

That pretty much defines Hillary who has put up with 30 years of GOP attacks, smears, bullshit investigations, and a never-ending mountain of hatred from wingnutville. And now, she's dealing with the lurking, hulking, threatening monster, Donald Trump.

Trump has tried to intimidate her, has threatened her, has bullied her, has made her a target for his lunatic supporters, and has unleashed a steady stream of lies about her. But none of it has shaken her. She's a rock that is still standing despite all the attacks. She knows that he's an empty, ignorant boor that she has to put up with until the election is over. And though a hypothetical "President Trump" wants to put her in jail, she will spend her real presidency in the White House ignoring the existence of the Trump asshole.

She's got style.

Her stamina is also impressive.

She shares many of Obama's good qualities; Like him, she's definitely someone who can be trusted not to lose it in an emergency. Someone you could trust to join you on a mountain climbing or jungle expedition. Smart and educated. Altruistic. If you found yourself in some horrible situation and out of nowhere she turned up, your hope and optimism about the situation would immediately soar.

One quality where she lags Obama a little is his incredible ability to see the best even in the worst of people. But few human beings can match him on that. And from recent comments, Trump seems to have strained even Obama's superhuman ability there.

given that they are always under attack, but stand up to it without withering.

I guess the reason for their strength is due to the nature of those trying to drag them down. The GOP, Trump, et al, are relentless in their hatred, unyielding in their bullying, and tireless in making up a never ending stream of lies. All of that seems to just make Obama and Hillary stronger. I'm glad to be on their side. And I pity the poor, blind fools who are endlessly duped by their hate peddlers.
