Mrs Clinton faced the same electorate that Mr. Obama faced.....twice. The reason she lost was that she was a bad candidate who could not turn out her own vote in the critical states. For such 'formidable' politicians as the Clintons it was an embarrassment and had little to do with the fact she was a woman. Although I'm small c conservative I thought Mr. Sanders was the most genuine candidate on either side and impressed more than the person who thought 'it was her turn'.
