It is relevant when trying to grasp what the american public does or does not consider electable. If Hillary wasn't so incredibly toxic she probably would have run away with the election. That alone does a lot to challenge the concept that only a 'straight, white, christian, family man" can be president (plus that whole "electing a black guy twice" thing).
I think a person of any race/gender/etc. could get the office as long as they find a way to resonate with the american people.
