Well as a European, I’m going to give the US some credit: voters did elect a black, ‘possibly-Muslim’ guy with a name that sounds vaguely like a well-known terrorist. And they elected him twice.

Besides, the democrats really appear to be in a situation where they’ll vote for a proverbial ham sandwich if it stops Trump from getting the presidency.

Are there racist voters who hate women? Obviously. But it’s not like it’s an immediate disqualification.

I think that would work for her. There's way more minorities and centrists that would come out to vote for her because of Obama's legacy than racists that would stay home out of spite IMO. I certainly don't think she'll be anything like Obama, but one could hope.

Though racism is a factor, that doesn't mean she isn't also a bad candidate.
