If Hillary is still alive to run in 2020, I have a feeling her missing 33000 emails would magically reappear (no thanks to her, of course.) They would be found by the Pakistani Awan IT brothers (for a finders fee).

Sanders lost every bit of respect he had when he did that. If he had simply walked away, stuck with calling the process unfair as we later discovered, and called the Democrat party the sham that it is, he'd be in a much better position now to influence the next election.
The one thing in Sanders defense was that he was facing the ugly situation of fracturing the dem vote and handing Trump the win. Trump narrowly won anyway but Sanders didn't know that.

Talk about a tough choice.

It's obvious they are obsessed with her. They just can't quit her.
Just because you don't want her to run, doesn't mean she isn't.

Do you not want her to run again? If so why not?

Talk about a tough choice.

And in the end, Sanders picked politics over principles. Went against everything that he said he stood for.

You need to find some credible sources rather than regurgitating all the Mother Jones, Salon, etc., leftist tripe.

As to Hillary, she and the DNC had plenty of time, so don't imply that she was the only choice in 2016. She ran in 2008 and never stopped running, hence the reason she & Obama worked out her support for him in exchange for the SoS job, which she royally botched.

Oh God no! I voted for her, but... If I had to listen about the emails 1 more day, I just couldn't...

Concerned Americans need to take a hard look at where we failed in getting her into office. In any election, it is not enough to just show up and vote. We should have been out there volunteering, doorbelling, informing friends, etc.
Nope.

It didn't lead to a stellar Presidency, but George H W Bush (aka 41, Bush 41, Bush the Elder) was the most qualified.

Considering the precedent that failure in the general dooms you to never run for President again - I think some politicians would rather play it safe. Of course, that's a "precedent" and not a "rule." Nothing is preventing Hillary from running again.

That would be every Republican's wet dream.

Having all the experience in the world does not mean she would have had the temperament, the stamina or the ideas to make her a good president. She was all those things you say, but was she good at any of them? Would she have had any ideas on her own, she never has had any? Well I take that back, it has been her idea to whine, whine, whine. Oh and for doorbelling, this shows you might be behind the times. This isn't the way to campaign anymore except maybe for local candidates.
