I generally don't run to the sexism card, but lets say her name was "Bill Clinton" (assuming of course "Bill" had never been president prior), and campaigned the exact same way, gave the same speeches, with the main knock being "emails" ... do I think in that case "Bill" wins ... yes I do.
So she might have a legit gripe there. American "strength" is rooted in military power IMO, there is something about a woman being commander in chief that doesn't fit that image and she always needed to understand that she needed to work harder.
Aside from "working harder", there's also "working smarter". To be honest in blunt political terms, I think she wins if she had named Corey Booker her VP choice. An extra 100,000 African Americans mobilizing in Pennslyvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin wins her the election. If she had named Bernie her VP she wins easily. Tim Kaine was such a dull choice and there was a good window to capitalize on Trump being forced by his handlers to take a more "average Republican" in Pence.
But losses happen. It's not like there was never going to be another Republican president ever again, just like there will be another Democrat in power (good chance that could be in as little as 3 years).
The other thing I will say is the Clinton years were easily the most economic prosperous for all of America (not just the mega rich) of the last 30 years, and it's amazing to me that she really did not play that card more or at all.
