Even things like Comey and Russian attacks were more effective against her just becsuse of misogyny.

And the decades long attacks were about the same thing.

This is not an issue for Biden.

But she would have still won without Comey .

But Biden would NOT have beat Hillary in a Primary. So this would only have happened if she didn't run.
