There is little doubt that if Hillary Clinton ran for the office of president during the Roosevelt or Reagan era she would not have gone very far in the primaries, if she was able to get on the ballot at all.
Times have changed.
Now, there are millions of liberals, Millennials, mostly democrats that allowed such a candidate to reach the final stages in an election cycle. Nothing says more about the American people than this, it is no longer just about Hillary Clinton.
