Hillary's Moment - did we get it all wrong?

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

I wish she had won the primaries because Obama would be president now and we'd still have 7.5 years to look towards.

Let me get this hypothetical timeline straight.

Hillary wins in 2008, she wins reelection in 2012, then Obama wins in 2016, and now he'd be sailing towards reelection in 2020.

You're sure giving Hillary a lot of gravitas for somebody who was 0-2 in real life elections.

No. Romney would have won in 2012. Hillary would have never won re-election whether she won in 08 or 16. Too polarizing to the right and doesn't enthuse the left.

I think she would have narrowly defeated Romney in the EC and PV in 2012. Like, say, 274-264 or 277-261, and 50.4%-49.6% or something similar.
Romney still makes his 47% gaffe imo, and that hurts him regardless of who the Dem nominee is.
