Seemed like a Big Story vs Big Story until a few days before the election. Retrospectively changing the size of the story isn't fair in this game

Ymmv but I didn’t feel the big story even before. It didn’t feel like “first woman” the way Obama felt like “first black man”... the Clinton overhang was too big
