Garbage column.

This statement is inflammatory nonsense: "She lost in significant part because so many Americans couldn’t stand the thought of a woman as president. This was even true, it seems, of other white women. There’s no point in arguing whether old-fashioned Yankee racism or old-fashioned Yankee misogyny did her in. Let’s be mature and compromise here. Let’s agree that both did, and together they were insurmountable." 

Hillary and Bill have unbelievable baggage around numerous issues. Many women are appalled that she hasn't divorced Bill decades ago and see her staying with him for political benefits. As you comment, she does not connect with people. She is ugly, tower elite and totally out of touch. She campaigned poorly eg not even going to Wisconsin. Clinton Foundation is a pay for access sham. Just watch its fundraising plummet now that the Clintons are done.

Yes, the election results were as much anti-Hillary as pro-Donald, but gender was not the issue.
