It Was Always Hillary--She Got The Nomination The Day Obama Was First Elected

And became the President in Waiting on the day of his second election victory.  The Dems had made their decision, and knowing how the electoral college worked, understood Hillary would be the favorite no matter what.  That's the reality.  Sanders was as good, better, better than anyone would have predicted, and while Hillary had a hard time defeating him, the Democratic Party structure made sure she could not lose the nomination.  That's the truth, a sad, awful truth, but the USA has been living with the threat of President Hillary Clinton for eight fucking years, and we are about to get pounded by the shitstorm.
