Hilary Clinton sat for eleven hours straight in front of a panel of hostile GOPs. They had weeks to prepare. Hilary sat there, answered every question completely, and walked away. You may not like her, but she was certainly ready for the job.
I mean, she's certainly good at preparing to give testimony for bullshit accusations against her, a skill her husband probably helped her cultivate given his presidency.
But she was also one of the most broadly hated politicians in the country. She only had a chance of winning because her opponent was Trump and Trump is just that awful. To be fair, virtually any other GOP candidate would have crushed Hillary and virtually any other Dem would have crushed Trump.
Honestly at the start of the 2016 primaries I had hoped for Sanders v Carson, if only to see how many GOP would refuse to vote for black man from their own party.
Getting greater than a percent more of the popular vote over Donald fuggin' Trump would probably classify her as "ready for the job" over being able to field Benghazi questions.
