America's stuck with Hillary Clinton. No matter what happens going forward, it is clear he cannot get it done; after losing in Iowa and now losing in Nevada, Sanders is not going to win the nomination--or at least derail the Clinton nomination--regardless of the fact that Sanders is better than Clinton. All the people who hoped against hope Sanders could somehow keep another Clinton out of the White House are defeated today in Nevada. Sanders will turn out to be a political footnote, defeated by the usual villains of the American political establishment. For a brief moment, it appeared possible that a moderate centrist like Sanders might upset the rock-ribbed conservative Democratic Party elite coronation of Hillary Clinton, delivering someone other than a vile reactionary stooge to the White House. That chance has passed now, and the centrists and center-left Democrats now need to accept Clinton as their standard bearer, no matter how awful she truly is.
The only upside is that the Republicans and Fox "News" have to face their worst nightmare. Clinton is unstoppable now, and in 2017 a woman and a Clinton will return to presidency in the United States, making a mockery of the the last generation of the Republican Party and the totality of Fox "News". That's a good thing, but possibly the only good thing any of us will get out of 2016.
Hillary Clinton won the presidency today.
