Gloria made two mistakes:
1. the way in which she spoke of McCain's service
2. linking 1 with the women's rights issues
If she would have opened discussed it with trying to answer the question "What experience is relevant to the office of the USA?" She could then asked how being a POW/senator or first lady/senator fulfills what is needed.
She didn't accomplish anything for Hillary, feminism or her repetition.
In the USA it has made strides and and backslid (e.g.the objectification of women). It has also lost its leadership and moral center (where were the leaders during the Clinton/Monica incident - a classic abuse scenario). Gloria passed up a great opportunity to outline where and how feminism should get going again.
