Personally, I think that would be the case regardless though because her faults lie in her politics, not in her gender.

if it weren't for the GOP being so inept she would lose the election, she's going to be the next president because the other side is worse.

A few years as a senator with her most well known vote being the disastrous Iraq War and a few years as SoS with a server scandal and Libya's We came, we saw, he died jokes as he most well know accomplishments there.

It is a no brainer alright.

If people trusted her to uphold the principles of the democratic party and she had a track record of doing so, she would be winning running away. I'd like to know your definition of an empty suit. To me, it is someone who spouts the same "conventional wisdom" that everyone else on capital hill is saying. That does not describe senator sanders.

Achilles heal. Add in her seeming inability to give straightforward answers to simple questions, and the public sees her as being untruthful. I don't see gender being an issue at all.

policies she supports and the astounding level of corruption, she would have been laughed out of the primary after a week, unless of course she ran in the republican primary, where she would probably win comfortably.

She would still be practicing law somewhere and would never have been fortunate to marry a future President, allowing her to have the career she has had. Show me a woman who has had more advantages than her.

There's no one here that would be anything but ecstatic for the 1st female president. But I guarantee that if you put Bill in there, there would be not a single Bernie supporter that would flip over to the Clinton camp.
