Bernie filled stadiums. Much as I like Hillary, she just wasn't an exciting candidate.

155. Hillary was fighting an anti-establishment head wind.

It did not help that Trump was able to make hay off of what Hillary and the DNC did to Bernie and his campaign.

Bernie had every right to run and most thought it better for him to run as a Democrat to avoid a Nadar situation. He campaigned for Hillary in the General despite what was done to him in the Primary.

I agree we need to move on, but we need to objectively take a look at the problems in our Party. In my mind, the corporate influence by way of campaign donations, soft and dark money, Super PACS, and the revolving door need to go! Whether you like it or not, Hillary was too closely associated with thease things.

Democrats should not be aligning with these influences, it is counter to who we are and what we expect in our government. Bernie demonstrated that a populist approach can bring in enough money. People are tired of Wall Street owning our politicians and giving them free reign to rip us off with no repercussions. Trump will only reinforce the need to get the Plutocrat's out of the picture. We need to be ready for the next election and come to it with clean hands!
