Would the alt-right be driven more by anti-feminism and less by racism? Would she get healthcare legislation passed? Would she get other legislation passed? Would the 2010 and 2014 midterms have different results?

Ignoring the fact that most alt-right people probably are trolls who don't actually believe what they say (and I'm pretty sure this one is one of those people), I wouldn't be surprised if alt-right sexism actually is worse than alt-right racism. At this stage sexism probably is way more accepted by modern society than racism. But I suppose you mean that when most people think of the alt-right they still think of racial tension. Perhaps a Clinton presidency would have made the sexism even more prominent (or even worse, but not sure how that would be possible lol).

I always wonder how 2012 would have looked like with Clinton. Obama's 2012 campaign was truly brilliant (except for the first debate). Sure, 2008 Obama was impressive but he won an unloseable election (and given the circumstances his result actually was rather disappointing). In 2012 Obama was an incumbent with a relatively bad economic situation, yet he won with a comfortable margin. The Democrats needed Obama more in 2012 than in 2008 imo.

I know my mom forbade me from talking to girls when I was in middle school and high school, but wouldn't have cared if I talked to blacks.

My mom claimed it was because "girls tend to gossip and be bullies". Looking back, my mom's rule caused me more emotional pain than gossip or bullying would have.

It really depends on if Specter would have flipped or not, if he did, Hillary would have passed comprehensive immigration reform and the Dems could have averted a let down in 2010 and 2014
