I think it is generally underappreciated how bad of a candidate Clinton was. Many people for good reason were frustrated by the status quo of politics and the Democrats would probably have had a hard time to find someone playing more into this. Her entire platform seemed to be to continue what already was happening except that she will be there first female president; she was heavily associated with a previous president; the way she and the Democratic party treated Sanders played badly into her being the heartless, corrupt establishment. I don't think I met anyone who really was excited to vote for Clinton her entire virtue was not being Trump. I'm honestly certain that pretty much anyone could have beaten Trump except Clinton.

It also shows to me how broken the US election system is. We badly need something like approval voting. It's unacceptable that we ended up was two candidates who both had awful approval ratings.
