Whether you like her or not, there is no arguing that Hillary Clinton is an historically significant figure. How will her career be evaluated 50 years from now?
I think there will be two components to it. First, it will be said that she was too far ahead of her time; there were just too many Americans who couldn’t accept the idea of a female president in the early 21st century. Second, she was unlucky. It is likely that she would have been elected in 2008 if the market crash had occurred six months earlier, and the MSM’s fixation with her bogus e-mail issue and Obama fatigue ultimately torpedoed her campaign in 2016.
It’s doubtful that Hillary would have been a great president, but she surely would have been competent, and that looks pretty good right now.
