By the time Hillary realized her toadys' mistakes and got some non-idiots running her campaign, it was too late to catch up on the delegate count against the energized Team Obama.
If she's learned from losing the presidency in '08, then she has a good chance at winning in 2016. (Not as good a chance as she would have had in '08, but still not bad.) Otoh, if she staffs her campaign with the same crew of clueless friends and idiot cronies, she's going to crash and burn in the general, even if she does manage the nomination this time around.
