Too bad. Democrats trusted a leadership who must be under the blackmailing influence of the Clintons.
There is no other explanation for the Superdelegates nominating such a shallow, dishonest, weak, corrupted, decrepit, uninspiring, and evil person.

That explains some of it. But don't discount the "first woman president" and "it's her turn" factors. And all the standard political tactics and dirty tricks besides blackmail that were used to clear the field before the primaries began.
All of that happened before the emergence of Trump, when the uniparty could tell itself that even if the obviously weak Hillary failed they could live with Jeb or Marco.
