I thought Bernie did a nice job ripping Trump a new asshole.
True, but Clinton also needs to win the election, and while the recent FBI finding might have spared her from prosecution, it didn't exactly sow the seeds of confidence either. Giving Sanders a position in her administration might convince enough Sanders supports to vote for her, and that would practically guarantee her the election.
Vermont is a pretty liberal state; Sander's replacement will likely be a Democrat anyway.
