That's hindsight. So many were sure at the time that the Orange Menace didn't have a chance, and that Hillary would do something like appoint Obama.

Don't forget a cabinet post for Kirk Cameron.
Honestly, I seriously think he should hire Dennis Miller as his Press Secretary. At least he'd be fun to watch.

Yep.
I didn't like it at all while it was happening, regardless of cheeto's perceived chances. Allowing that level of politicizing of the appointment process to go unchallenged I felt allowed a really dangerous precedent to be set. Now, and it looks like starting right now, rather than looking for a very well qualified jurist that fits within a range of belief, it looks like a political showdown trying to get the most Democrat guy or most GOP guy, and the other "side" dragging their feet forever. I abhor it.

Yep.
This has made me giggle all night.

When the new conservative Supreme Court repeals all gay rights and ends abortion, I'm going to make it a point to continually remind the Bernie Bros and "protest vote" people that this is what happens when you refuse to vote for the lesser of two evils.

This is what happens when candidates who are "supposed to win" don't even bother to connect with voters outside of their base. Don't like how people vote? Get more voters. 42% of the electorate didn't vote. There's plenty of people out there to engage.

I, for one, am looking forward to the nomination of Jeff Sessions to the SCOTUS.

This is what I keep saying. Kind of repetitive, and frustrated sounding, but this is my post on the topic in a FB feed.
This is true. [that we are living with consequences of protest votes/non-votes] And when Bernie lost, I immediately started campaigning for Hilary, doing everything I could. Door-belling, work with the local DNC, etc. However, the DNC was not quite right through all of this either, and had some work to do after the dust settled that I do not think has been fully accomplished. Things were exposed that were not right. (Wasserman-Schultz, etc.) Whether it truly cost Bernie the victory is debatable, but it should hot have happened. The DNC needs to do better work to reunite progressive people. I will help them work. But I also want to see leadership do a better job. Especially at the national and regional levels. That said, staying home all butt-hurt makes none of this crap better. Everyone needs to pitch in. But leadership has a higher duty.
