16. Hell yes! We would have had a Civil Rights bill of 1954...

instead of 64. We would have had an United Nations that would be much stronger than the one today, and she most likely would have laid the groundwork for gay rights, decades early. She was also someone who took no crap from ANYONE, not even her husband, and made no bones about it. Given that, she would have accomplished a HELL of a lot more than anyone else, plus she was damned near universally adored, nationwide, and IF she ran, would have won, with probably higher margins than her husband.

You can't compare Eleanor Roosevelt with Hillary Clinton, there really is no comparison here.
