This is what happens when a major political party rigs the primaries to nominate their preferred candidate
Hillary Clinton and the Democrats have no one to blame but themselves for Donald Trump winning. The mainstream media couldn’t have helped Clinton anymore than they did, and Trump couldn’t have tried any harder to lose.
Because Clinton would have easily lost to a moderate Republican, her campaign coordinated with the DNC to elevate Trump as a legitimate candidate, and declared war on anyone who opposed Clinton’s coronation.
The DNC knew Clinton was a weak candidate and relied on Machiavellian tactics and an elitist circle of mainstream media insiders to manufacture consent for her candidacy. Their strategy backfired, and there is no one else to blame for Clinton’s loss and Donald Trump’s win.

IMO Literally ANY other candidate would have defeated Trump. Good job DNC, you had to cheat to lose the presidency.

Agreed, and I would point out that this is now the third straight national election that the Democrats have clearly lost without Barack Obama on the ballot. Over that span, they've lost the House, they've lost the Senate, they've lost the Governorships, they've lost the state houses, and now, they've lost the presidency and likely the Supreme Court. Its time for them to practice some introspection and admit to themselves that their positions on the issues you mention simply are not popular with the American people and it is time for them to adjust back to a more centrist position on those issues if they wish to be competitive on a national basis.

I am curious if Sanders would take a position in Trumps administration if offered.

I don't often agree with you but you are spot on with this thread. The best hope for the DNC was left behind at the primaries along with a lot of democratics faith in their political establishment. If they had only looked at what their voters wanted instead of pushing what they wanted themselves I think the outcome would have been way different today.
