This female has never admired HRC, and the idea that she could be "the most admired female in the US" is appalling to me. If true, and I don't think it is, it says some things, some not so complimentary things, about the mentality of this nation.
I think she has way more name recognition than other females in the U.S.; that much, I'd agree with.
I also think, that her superior name recognition is a double-edged sword. I think her presence on the ballot in the GE will galvanize the Republican turnout. I don't know that it will depress the Democratic turnout, although I believe it would depress the turnout of potential Democratic allies, and depress the turnout of those willing to work energetically for a Democratic campaign.
