Well, my main worry was that she would remind people of HRC in all the wrong ways.

Now that Hill has been vindicated by 2020, I'm actually a lot less worried.

Was she?  Just because Trump was a uniquely unlikable President who was unpopular?  Millions of his own 2016 voters who voted against Clinton knew that ... Biden was only elected because he won back the three crucial states that Clinton took for granted.  I would not say Clinton has been "vindicated," as it's pretty damn clear she could have beaten Trump in 2016 and let us avoid the last four years if she had simply run a better campaign that was more focused on winning and less focused on who she wanted the Democrats' voters to be.

By "vindicated" I meant that it has been proven that she was not in fact a uniquely bad candidate. As much as it hurts me to say it, it's clear now that Trump is an exceptionally strong candidate.

Biden was the best possible Democrat for the Midwest and he was barely able to flip the big three and still lost OH and IA by big margins.

Trump is the reason they are so R now, not Clinton or Obama.
