94. There were other candidates besides Bernie available.

Biden springs to mind and I believe he could of ... no, let's make that would have won.

But he didn't run.

Why?

Same reason a lot of other D's like Martin O'Malley never put forth a serious effort. They wanted to clear the field for Hillary and a put up a united front against whoever the GOP came up with..

Didn't want any criticism or negative Hillary sound bites from fellow Dems during some primary fight to use against her during the GE. Plus, she was a formidable opponent.

So Bernie was the only one who tried.

Let's face it - Hillary and her political machine had been planning this run ever since her husband got out of office and except for an 8 year interruption courtesy of Barrack Obama, she was ready to go. She had deep ties and friends high up in Democratic places plus the DNC along with backing from the money guys in the corporate world and Wall street.

Too bad all that ended up largely being a negative.

She would have made a great President too.

That Butternut Turd (I like that title) totally ignored, no insulted POC and Hispanics and yet won the election anyway. Amazingly, the majority of women you say he can't do without actually voted for him in spite of his pussy grabbing misogyny.
