There was this.  Hillary Clinton’s State Department Legacy September 29, 2013 which included these.

>For the first time in its history she completely overhauled the State Department , USAID, and interagency cooperation with her Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (QDDR.

>For the first time in history she called all of the chiefs of mission together at the State Department for annual conferences.

>She instituted an Office of Global Women’s Issues.

>In June 2009 she  provided benefits to domestic partners of foreign service diplomats for the first time.

>She brought previously neglected countries back to the table with numerous memoranda of understanding and countless business initiatives.

>She kept the alliance between Afghanistan and Pakistan stable despite enormous challenges.

>She reopened the vital supply route from Pakistan into Afghanistan.

>She ensured U.S. access to the vital Manas airstip in Kyrgystan.

>She Salvaged the Turkey-Armenia accords which  she was supposed to simply witness when they suddenly nearly fell apart.

>She brought issues like human trafficking as well as violence against women and LGBT communities to the international table.

Hillary Clinton visited many dangerous and forgotten places, confronted dangerous men, delivered tough messages, brought home hard-won accords.  She reached out to those who were slighted by the previous administration and brought opponents together.

The Bernie forum has an OP right now about how Bernie would be the first Jewish President, pnwmom Nov 2015 #23
What's their consensus, elleng Nov 2015 #27
The OP called bringing up Hillary's gender "running a game." pnwmom Nov 2015 #29
Thanks elleng Nov 2015 #32
So why not write a post declaring that gender, religion, race, sexual orientation does not matter? slipslidingaway Nov 2015 #28
