Hillary Clinton is a popular Democrat who's positions (pro-choice, pro gay rights, pro immigration reform, pro criminal justice reform, pro progressive taxation, pro environment) are both in the mainstream of Democratic Party voters AND attractive to moderate independents and suburban liberal Republicans.
