7. He was the head of the DNC when she was running.

You still don't get it. The DNC prevents candidates from running by blocking them with access to funding and information. Hillary got help from the Moynihan machine. She was a shoe in from the beginning, no one was going to be successful in running against her, with the New York Democratic party machine behind her. This was the reason she moved to New York, she was guaranteed the Senate seat and the publicity to run for President.

I have no idea what your experience is with party politics, but it ain't a pretty picture. It is set up so only a very few can even run much less win. There are plenty of people on this board who have come up against the stone wall of the Democratic Party over the years. It may not be smoke filled rooms any more physically, but those same political machines still are running the show.
