An important point to remember is that Democratic Party members (actual members, not chumps like you and me) knew Hilary would lose.

That didn’t matter.

They wanted her to get the nomination anyway, because she’s at the top of the Democratic Party pyramid. If she won, great. Handjobs and cabinets positions all around.

And if she didn’t win, she’s still out of the top spot. Everyone still moves up within the pyramid.
