9. I'm not so much "happy" as I am "relieved." Sanders was a truly horrendous candidate

and ran a campaign that will be studied for centuries on How to Alienate the People You Most Need to Actually Vote for You.

We are already feeling the impact of his legacy in that states who's caucuses he won are already voting to move to primaries and these primaries aren't even over yet. I also think that it will be a long, cold day in Hades before someone is allowed to become a Democrat 3 minutes before running for president as a Democrat again.

So I'm relieved. I'm not thrilled or excited but I am most definitely relieved. The most qualified candidate for president won the Dem primary and will win in November as well.
