This is one of the times the common name for DU-folk hereabouts is well-earned and beyond:
Dummies. Here's what D Party operatives see:
* 2016 is last year, and Hillary is not President;
* 2018's Congressional elections are 14 months away;
* Hillary will not be a candidate for anything - if ever again - until late 2019 at the earliest;
* The D Party needs to unify and pull together for the 2018 election;
* Hillary will be inciting recriminations, finger-point, and dissension over something in the past;
* The D Party needs to craft a compelling vision and slate of candidates communicating that vision;
* Hillary will confirm and prolong the public image of Ds as
whining losers 
and will be sucking the oxygen D Party candidates need.
I am far from a political (or any other kind) genius, but figuring out why D Party leaders and operatives want Hillary and her finger-pointing out of the lime-light is not tough.
