But I don't know that whether Hillary Clinton was a good candidate or not is the right question.
Russia meddled ... but a bunch of Facebook ads and Twitter bots do not account for the collapse of Dems blue wall in economically battered Midwestern states, ravaged by international trade deals and Wall Street deregulation policies that were long touted by the Democratic establishment.
It's possible her loss had less to do with Russia, misogyny, and even voter suppression than with a long-standing perception that she was a status quo candidate in a change cycle. Remember that most of the Republican establishment tried very hard -- and failed -- to stop Trump themselves. And remember that those early MAGAts' rallying cry was that he would "shake up Washington".

Doesn't it?
LOL
Yes it does, and no I didn't.
I did leave a word out, though, so I can understand your confusion.
What is it about President Pence that gives you hope?
