The next Democratic nominee for president needs to be a woman.

59. Pretty much everything.

Two years of Trump, definite evidence of Russian interference, the distinct possibility of a Democratically controlled House and many more Democrats as governor in 2020, the #metoo movement, not to mention an enormous reservoir of anger among women precisely because of how Clinton was treated...

I have to keep reminding people that Hillary actually won the popular vote by a margin of three million--a landslide in any other context. If not for Comey, she'd be president right now. And if Democrats had been the chairs of the various investigating committees, there wouldn't have been six solid years of anti-Hillary headlines coming from the Hill and helping to steer the narrative. People seem to forget that Clinton left both the Senate and the State Department with positive poll numbers. Remember what's-his-name admitting that the whole purpose of "Benghazi" was to drive down her numbers, and his gloating at how it worked?

There are lessons to be learned from 2016, but let's make sure they're the right ones.
