She had 3M more votes overall, just not in the right places. But you try running against the FBI, the KGB, The House of representatives, and the US senate committee structures. Throw in fake news and media that couldn't tell right from wrong.

No candidate could have overcome that. Sanders would have been compost long before the election. Boo-friggin hoo he got elbowed out. Politics is not a no-contact sport.

her biggest mistake was the private server. she should have known better.

the perception was that private=something to hide. and you are right, the FBI threw gas on that fire right at the end.

and the fact she was the first woman to be so close to the Presidency was a hard pill to swallow for the old, white men of the US who were just getting over the first black President
 
Sanders also suffered from angry old man syndrome, I don't think he would have been the solution.
The person who most reminds of him, except with better mental health was Ron Paul, I think he was smarter than thinking in binary terms over things.

A friend of mine in the states said the same thing. That she heard people say they would never vote in the first female president after the first black one. Too much change for them I guess.

Fail. Untrue. Sorry. Why do you rely on what you've 'heard' for your info?

Also, she would've been the first elected female, but not the first female to act as president. Woodrow Wilson had a stroke and his wife ran everything until he was well enough to reassume his duties.

I'm not saying she was speaking on behalf of the American people, that's absurd. I'm saying she told me what some people told her.
I'm sure there were people out there that didn't feel comfortable with a female president. There were people out there that weren't comfortable with a black one. Not all, but some.

That doesn't count.

And if it does, Nancy Reagan did it for years.
