Flawed Candidate: Hillary

After decades, Americans were tired of voting for the "lesser of two evils." They were tired of flawed candidates. With our political system in such desperate need of an overhaul, they wanted real change no matter what it was. Surprising pundits, voters rejected "the known" for something revolutionary.

Hillary should have been concerned. Had she been elected, she would have found herself in a precarious political position. Progressives would have demanded she support Bernie Sanders's ideas of universal healthcare and free college education. Some believed she would continue along the path our military industrial complex has forged since the end of World War II. New York Times writer Maureen Dowd said, "Hillary will keep the establishment safe." Clinton represented a past many wanted to leave far behind. Some questioned her morals. Others believed the hype about her role in Benghazi and her use of a private email server. The American people were tired of political subterfuge. Yet, to many, neither candidate possessed much integrity.
