You can walk through the Senate and Obama's Cabinet and just other notable Democrats not currently in office and it's like, yeah, some nice enough people I guess but there's not some deep bench of obvious candidates there. I'm sure it comes off as hopeless Hillary apologetics but I get it, she's flawed. OK, you win whoever says that. Lot not to like about Hillary.
But the process that landed on Hillary was the result of a lot of predictable inputs and all the players (politicians, elites, the party, voters, professionals, etc. -- all that stuff that creates a Presidential field) knew them and it played out as expected. Democrats had 4 years to imagine alternates to HRC but the fact that was hard was not for lack of trying.
