Both Hillary and Bernie need to fade into the sunset, but of the 2, she's behaving worse at this moment. The Clintons' egos are limitless. If she becomes a distracting sideshow, I hope they deny both Clintons the opportunity to speak at the 2020 convention. And I get that there was a certain amount of Obama/Trump voters out there, who probably voted Bernie in the primary. There are a large number of folks in both parties right now who just want to blow the whole thing up. Given that environment, last year was not the right time for the ultra establishment Hillary, not that any time would necessarily have been. Had Uncle Joe run, I really think all of this would be academic because he would have won by 5+%. But it is what it is, and Hillary needs to go the fuck away.
This. She does not get to play the "we need what's good for the party card" anymore. Bernie may have taken things too far, but those are the kind of things that can happen in a primary.
Of course, this is a lesson that should have been learned in 2008.
Arguably, as early as 2000.
