I think Hildawg was so incredibly unappealing that people decided to vote for Anyone But Hillary. It made absolutely no sense for her to be the candidate right after the Obama admin. People who loved Obama would hate her for the racism and the weird death threat that her campaign put out when she was running against him, and people who hated Obama saw her more or less as an Obama clone without any of his charisma. She was a candidate made for people who write opinion articles and nobody else.

Hell, I was a total lib back then and even I knew Hillary was fucking evil. Not cause "scary politician lady", but for pretty clear cases of her political actions getting people killed in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

Mostly just kind of came off as too drab to be a viable follow-up to Obama, too. You've got to escalate in some way.
