If she had the personality for that, she would be president, regardless of the Russian bots and leaked emails.

Don’t get me wrong, I voted for her, but she wasn’t a great candidate.

It is impressive that she had the race won--decisively--until 11 days before the election.

I can't think of one reason to say she wasn't a great candidate.

She didn't brag about sexually assaulting anyone, & she never wrote a book about some Rape Fantasy.
I guess that disqualifies her from the boys club of great candidates of 2016.

great candidate. That's why she received more votes than anyone in history except for Obama's first term.

If the standard for a good candidate is if someone is good talk show material, we're even more doomed than I thought.

Nothing like playing right into decades of right wingnut framing.

Television is currently infotainment marketed as news, and dominated by stage managed productions labelled reality. It is no place for credible people to land.
