    AND she still probably would have won if Comey didn’t drop another “but her emails” bombshell immediately before the election. It was completely inappropriate and allowed Trump to just barely squeak into office. One that had no legal teeth, and resulted in no legal issues after the election.

      That she won the popular vote and was within spitting distance of winning the EC despite all these issues should put to rest the idea that a woman can’t win, but the “I’m not sexist, but” people keep using it as justification for only running straight white men. Not to mention that since then the biggest winning issue in politics seems to be abortion, so if anything the environment is even more primed to accept female leadership.
