The Democrats other big mistake, of course, was not running Sanders against the Orange Menace instead. That would have allowed Clinton to keep her powder dry until 2020, by which time more people would have forgotten her disastrous legacy as Secretary of State. Or 2024, if Sanders won, as I believe he would have. Precisely because he would have *refused* to campaign on a platform of scapegoating the Other, and instead focused on building bridges to reach the "basket of deplorables".
