Hillary Clinton is so hated because she represents so much of what is bad about politicians.

To represent a system that stands above the people (also called "the establishment", or at least a part of the establishment). The lack of honesty and lack of accountability. To be extremely dedicated and loyal to this system. To stand for a mentality that is largely corrupt.

Many people feel that in the parliamentary democracies of modern society, there's a huge gap between the grassroots and the establishment, between ordinary citizens and politicans. It may be the best system to govern a society, but it has its downsides. Many people feel that politicans don't represent and don't even want to represent the true will of the people. Many people feel that politicans are in an unholy alliance together with the rest of establishment, namely media and influential people (capitalists, lobbyists, the rich and the famous). They believe that power corrupts.

To the "archetype" politician, politics stand above virtues such as honesty, truth, justice, humbleness and the ability to admit you are sometimes wrong.

Based on her history (remember she is a veteran politician), her husband Bill Clinton's lifework, and based on the ideology she propagates, her rhetorics and her policies, Hillary Clinton represents this type of character very strongly.
