My biggest regret when Hillary is nominated

[needledriver]

is that Bernie will never get the vetting he deserves.

I have many good and noble friends who are Bernie enthusiasts who will never have their eyes opened. They will go through the rest of this election seething about their loss without ever understanding the true character of their preferred nominee.

They will never have the dubious joy of seeing their preferred nominee ripped open - excoriated in every branch of the media. They will never get to experience watching their candidate's every decision, every utterance, every act back to his teenage days be shrieked about on a 24/7 loop.

The RW noise machine wouldn't even have to make up lies. Bernie's political and personal history is rife with juicy opportunities to bludgeon him to political death. By election day Trump could actually look like the more reasonable option to most voters!

I don't actually regret that part. I mean, I don't actually regret that I will not see Bernie torn down to the point that Trump wins the election.

What I regret, is that for the lack of being exposed for what he is, my friends will be able to maintain the illusion that somehow Bernie coulda, woulda, shoulda been better than what we got, without realizing that what we got is a candidate and President to be proud of.
