It's interesting that you refer to Bernie refusing to clear a path for her as "things going wrong". As if her coronation was expected and the path was supposed to be free of competition.

I think tough primary competition should be the norm, and she should have faced more than one strong challenger.

When you keep running without a path to victory you hurt the party. That was a fact when Hillary did it in 08 and a fact when Bernie did it in 16.

It hurt further because Bernie had an absurd cult of personality that Clinton did not have in 2016
