Other than giving Clinton a little too much credit (I especially question the suggestion that she would've significantly changed things), it's a good summary.

I missed any suggestion by Reich that she might have changed things -- noticing more that Reich implied that she was status quo and Bernie was shown as the disrupter that the US needed at this time. Reich did note that everyone expected her to win. Maybe I missed something.

Maybe this was my mistake, but my impression was the implication that Clinton's winning would have been meaningfully different from Trump's in terms of the issues he's talking about, which I seriously question.

too busy to watch this again, but maybe another person can check this out. I agree that Clinton's winning would not be meaningfully different in terms of distribution of wealth and the 99% vs the 1%. Next person: Is Reich implying that it would be or just be more of the same.
