I would hope that the "historic choice of the first female president" would result in the election of a woman who hasn't been the subject of so many unconscionable controversies.

Instead of discussing why the electorate failed, this publication could state why Hillary failed. Hillary failed as a First Lady, she failed as a U.S. Senator, and she failed as a Secretary of State. She failed as a candidate.

In eight years as a senator she only sponsored eight bills, three of which passed. That is a paltry number for any legislator. As Secretary of State she had little to show in her favor, and a lot to show in her failure. Benghazi was a huge black eye. Very few Secretary of States have had an ambassador killed on their watch--especially when forces were available to save said diplomat. As First Lady she protected a sexual predator--her husband--while trying to destroy the women he defiled. 

Wikileaks provided the proof that many needed to look elsewhere.

Trump was flawed as well.
