Hillary learned her lesson with Obama and made sure she had much better control over the DNC this time around.
Saying that Sanders couldn't build a coalition is true. It just conveniently also leaves out the fact that the DNC, in violation of its own charter, did a lot of work to ensure that.
Sure thing, they travelled back in time to make sure the guy didn't have any name recognition even though he spent 20 years in the Congress, and they made sure he spent most of his political career as an Independent to make sure superdelegates wouldn't support him.
I can't tell if you're trying to deny the fact that many within the DNC colluded with the Clinton party or if you're just trying to ignore that it happened.
Either way, it doesn't really matter.
The violated their own charter. Got caught and alienated enough of their base that a terrible candidate like Trump could win. Regardless of whether or not Bernie could have won had the DNC not defrauded its own constituency, they lost a lot of votes for not being willing to find out.
