Clinton is a throwback to the more moderate days in Congress and the current, younger members of the Democrat audience isn't looking for that. If we had seen a more liberal candidate, I think we would have seen Trump take a tumble. That runs counter to your thinking. I would agree that what has been going on is frustrating those on the right, and remaining moderates, but Trump's win in the general election is not because of that.

She was pretty far left with the free college plan nonsense and her open border statements though & other things. I dont know how much more liberal a presidential candidate could get without being on a full blown socialistic progressive platform. 

I think it just came down to she was simply not a good candidate with all the cumulative baggage, and then throw in the 'progressive' liberal ideas that were more than what Obama has done. I dont even think Bernie would have won to be honest. However I still think Biden would have, and he wouldnt have been as liberal as she was, or at least I am assuming he wouldnt.
