Hillary was about the worst they could have offered, but they didn't have a choice.
I firmly believe that she cut a deal with the DNC in 2008 to allow Obama to run in '08, with the understanding that she would get the nomination in 2016.
I'm sure many in the DNC would have wanted to back out of that deal, but the Clintons have been high up in the Democratic party for about 30 years or more, and therefore know where the bodies are buried (in addition to the ones she and Bill buried themselves).
They couldn't afford to back out of the deal.
