It was ordained by the Democrat Party as far back as 2014 that Hillary Clinton would be the Democrat nominee. Bernie Sanders and the others were only a dog and pony show to amuse the Democrat slaves until the Convention. The only reason that Bernie was allowed in the race was to make Hillary appear to be sane. Things did not work out exactly as planned, but the Democrats stuck to the script. Hillary is going to be crowned the nominee. How the Democrat Party will deal with Bernie and his disciples remains yet to be seen.
Hillary was told in 2008 she could be the 2016 nominee if she would endorse Obama and be his SOS.
