Butterflies
I respectfully disagree. Hillary has a pretty strong will to power, I don't know that she would be completely knocked out of the possibility of holding office.
If Bill divorces Hillary to marry the bimbo he was caught with
If Hillary moves to NY and works in private practice for a while
If she campaigns/raises funds for local Democrats
If she devotes herself to all these things while raising Chelsea
If the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy(VRWC) rediscover her
If Dole is elected due to a fractured opposition
If the burgeoning Fox Empire, Hate Radio, and the Republicans decide she's a good fundraiser for THEM
If Schumer defeat Al Damato
If Moynihan goes OTL
If she does a campaign for the US Senate OTL
Then this could work. All she would need is the OTL venom
that got her elected OTL.
Remember her first opponent was Rudolph Guliani. Any Democratic
opponent would be seen as a sacrificial goat. After his withdrawal due to
cancer, she faced congressman Rick Lazio from Long Island. As the divorced wife of a
failed presidential candidate she would be taken to have no gravitas
whatsoever. But this also means no Hillcare disaster, and what little scandals
were left from the Clinton Wars such as they would be ITTL would be not
forgotten(VRWC/FOX) but rejected by most NEW YORK voters. And against
a Long Islander Hillary wouldn't have to worry about the usual
upstate vs downstate strategy of the NY state Republicans. OTL they
tried anyway and fell flat on their collective faces

. ITTL, she'd be
underestimated, overlooked, sneered at, and mostly ignored by her
opponent who'd let VRWC/FOX do all the heavy lifting.
Most importantly, if her first debate is ANYTHING like OTL, well,
Bozo the Clown could have won after what Lazio and Russert together
tried to pull
