I'm less convinced she actually wants to accomplish all that much though. Most of her stated goals falls solidly in the small-ball range. Since Presidents only get a portion of the things they request. I see a disappointing next 4 years, maybe less inspiring than the post-2010 Obama experience ... setting up the critical 2020 election for the not-Dems
Making the SCOTUS Progressive for several decades is not small ball, it's about as big a thing possible on the domestic policy side.
Also, as I said earlier, low expectations for her, and Clinton not having Obama's 1st term naivety concerning the GOP, positions her to perhaps get more actually done than people now believe possible. Stay tune.
