I don't understand why anyone would pick Hillary over Sanders.
There is only one politician in the race who has his record to stand by, who isn't corrupt and who hasn't been bought and paid for by big money and special interests.
Everyone is saying Sanders supporters are being stubborn by refusing to vote for Hillary. I think Hillary supporters are delusional for supporting her when there is a much better candidate in the race.

The best candidate is the one who didn't run, and that would be Biden. More than likely he simply did not want to go through the Clinton machine because unlike Bernie who they never really took seriously, even when he started winning, they would have viewed Biden as a major threat and gone after him on day 1. After his son died I'm sure he had no interest in going up against that.
As to Bernie being a "much better candidate", this is where relativity has to come into play, and also how you define "better". In this case "better" has to do with the perception of being more likable or more trustworthy and not necessarily competence to do the job well. And this is mostly because he's going up against an exceptionally skilled liar and a dead-ferret-on-his-head con man. In most other election cycles Bernie would be an after thought.
