It was time for a woman to run for The U.S. Presidency, The Democrats ran the wrong woman. A woman with a squeaky-clean background, who is not so intertwined with the large big-money interests, would have been better, as significant change is wanted by the frustrated voters. A Bernie Sanders-type female candidate would have been better.
Millions of would-be Democratic voters in Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and Pennsylvania, and probably Florida, who had voted for Obama, stayed away from the polls as a protest. Had they voted Democratic, just to keep The Republicans from controlling BOTH houses of the legislature AND The Executive Branch, Hillary would have won. Had there been a qualified female candidate with a lot less ties to big money and the corporations and The main-stream Democratic Machine, she likely would have seemed a better candidate for change, and would have won [[as Sanders probably would have).
The Democrats made a bad mistake, because they thought that Sanders would try to help "The People" too much, and not line the pockets of their own "benefactors" enough, to whom they are beholden.
