Speaking for myself, I always preferred flawed candidates because they're more real to me and I'm very skeptical of "perfect" ones. That's one reason I liked McCain and was skeptical of Obama for example.
I feel that when I look at Clinton I'm looking at a real person that I can relate to, who has pros and cons. Overall, I'm incredibly impressed with her and what she's done. That comes with an acknowledgement of the flaws, of course.
Secondly, I feel she's subjected to tons of incredibly unreasonable attacks (as you outline in your post) and that causes me to argue more favourably for her than I otherwise would.
Finally, she's our only hope against the tide of fascism spearheaded by Trump and I'll gladly follow a much, much worse leader than Hillary Clinton against the personification of all the evils of humanity.
