Well in fact she did win both her Senate runs with over 50% of the vote and the absurdity of Trump's run was definitely hard to take seriously by both Democrats and the GOP in the early days making Clinton look like a clear front runner. That did change over the course of the campaign as people bought into Trump's bumper sticker sloganeering which passed for having an actual platform. Clinton did win the popular vote but lost the electoral college so she clearly had enough votes to win, nearly as much as Obama had wen he won in fact, but the voter distribution did not work in her favour.

If your snide comment was intended to claim that Clinton was never a contender when she obviously had more support than Trump, then my earlier observation remains sadly accurate.
