What's sort of interesting about this, is that any year prior to this year, Hillary would be a perfectly fine candidate. But this election, she was up against Bernie, a non-millionaire ant-establishment independent populist from Vermont who funded his primary campaign without corporate help, and Donald Trump, the sort of republican anti-establishment to the point he's been disowned, who mostly self-funded his primary campaign.
Just bad luck. If she were up against Ted Cruz, or Jeb Bush, none of this stuff would be particularly effective. But contrasted with Bernie and Trump, to a group of voters ready to try something different, it hits 3x as hard.
