The left seemed to really despise her. Was it something about her resume that made her unqualified?

She supported school choice.

Less government involvement in schools = immediate hatred from the left.

She was rich and was for school choice. Therefore the teacher's union was against her from the start and were very loud about it.

Because the teachers unions are corrupt power magnets and have no interest in teaching your children and she wasn’t on board with that. Therefore she had to be made the enemy and the media just ran with it.
