Peter F scribbled... "... the democrats were stupid [1] to go with Hilary, as a cuckolded wife there were too many Americans who hated her (probably quite undeservedly), and she wasn't enough of a political heavyweight or success to overcome that. .." IMHO this was much less about any 90's era cuckolding than noughties cheerleading for  illegal, aggressive war - the " Supreme Crime " according to international law.  The hatred  for her, for this, was entirely deserved and not confined to American's registered to vote.  The internet also had a say in this election as, indeed it did in Brexit.
