The primary problem with Clinton's whining, as I've noted in response to other comments like this, is that they create a false equivalence between different types of criticism. There is a major difference between valid criticism of Clinton and the major complaints about their campaign such as the dishonesty of many of their attacks. They also ignore the fact that the criticism of Clinton's character came about in response to the dirtiness of her campaign. If she hadn't behaved that way then her character would not have become a major campaign issue.

Its more whining of course, but you might like to have a thought about a good response to this, because I'm expecting to see a lot more of it. The Clinton campaign has put this out today:
