Hillary is a POS. But to blame it on her, at least entirely, makes very little sense. There are numerous reasons why he won... despite the fact that HE lost the popular vote against her.
He won because democrat voters assumed the polls were right and no one was stupid enough to vote Trump. So they didn't vote. America is very difficult to underestimate.
As for 2024, who the fuck knows.
It's not complicated, American voters vote out the incumbent if they're not happy with how things in general are going. Obama won reelection because he was a fantastic speaker and politician. Trump would have lost this election if he was the incumbent.
