Julian Castro, Elizabeth Warren, Corey Booker, all would have excited the young people she so desperately needs. Instead, she picked a scandal free version of herself that everyone had to Google.
Fuck me. Well, prepare yourselves for President Trump.
The deck is stacked in her favor. Even after the FBI tongue-lashing over the email thing and the RNC convention bounce, the best Trump can do is pull even nationally. And Hillary still is ahead in the electoral college. She didn't need to go with a hail Mary pass with her VP pick.
I would have loved to see her go with Warren but the two would have butted heads for 4/8 years. The only true #2 with the qualifications was Kaine.
I think I have an idea where most Bernie supporters are at emotionally because I was a Hillary supporter in 2008. At this pont, I was less pragmatic than you are, Steel although I was never as off the rails as dyresand. I really didn't want to vote for Obama but my logical brain managed to override my emotional one. Sticking it to Obama would be sticking it to myself. I pulled the lever for him and I think most Bernie supporters will do the same for Hillary.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
