First this one from Medium.  TL;DR, Clinton was immensely flawed as a candiate and had Sanders been the nominee he would have beaten Trump.  I think this is spot on for the reasons the author gives.  The treatment of Sanders by the Democratic party drove people away from Clinton and made it harder for them to eventually support her

Trump is just a crime boss, and he's being defended by the Republican party. And what do you know, Nunes, one of the Republicans running interference for him, is now found to be complicit in the same crimes, running off to Ukraine to ask a foreign government to invent evidence that Trump's political adversaries were under criminal investigation. The big question is what the Russians have on Trump and Moscow Mitch. If Trump succeeds in having his court appointees defend him from investigation then this is no longer a democracy, any future president can simply ignore the courts and the law because Congress will no longer have any power to investigate. Republicans should think hard about what they are breaking.
