    “She lost for a reason” does not mean she would have been a worse president than Trump. Do you also think Gore would have been a worse president than Bush or a second Carter term would have been worse than Reagan’s first term?

      I don’t think op was saying that she would have been a worse president, but rather a worse candidate, as in she was uncompetitive.

      Honestly there would be very little difference in the state of the world today had Hillary won. The protests in occupied Palestine may have not kicked off so hard if Hillary won and didn’t move the embassy. We definitely wouldn’t have free healthcare or bullet trains or even student debt relief had she won. It would be like right now with bidensupporting continuing to support genocidal regimes around the worldi in order to maintain western hegemony.
