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.
Open border statements? Not familiar with those. The free college stuff was her pandering to Bernie supporters and the voters knew that. It was not going to happen.
Clinton is much more moderate than a lot of people realize.
