No. No regrets from the DNC.
The wonking I've heard about this is that the DNC leadership is split in basically two (in true DNC style, completely divorced from the reality of their base). Not Super Commie/Sorta commie, but Clinton vs. Obama.
Clinton dropped out in 2008 with the promise of the 2016 run. 2016 was going to go to Clinton. I know both primary fields are usually utter garbage, but look at the 2016 DNC field; cuck bernie was the best contender - think about that.
A group of DNC insiders, which for lack of a better term we'll call The Obama Loyalists (it might even more accurate to call them Dean Loyalists*), didn't like this and though the field should be open; they were told to shut the fuck up and sit down, which they did. When Clinton got BTFO like she deserved to be for being completely fucking tone deaf on everything, the Obama loyalists took the opportunity to say "The Clinton's can't run the DNC effectively anymore, Clinton gettign destroyed by Trump proves they are out of touch, its time for some new blood" and take control.
Biden is supposed to represent "See? People want a return to Obama not Clinton"; which ignores that Clinton ran the DNC for all the Obama years, but w/e.
No one in the DNC likes Bernie, except in so much as he's a good little bitch-cuck who plays token opposition and then immediately rolls over and submissively urinates.
*tl;dr Howard Dean, the 2004 yelling guy, came up with a solid idea that created an actual blue wave in 2006 with a "50 state strategy", aka "Fund fucking everthing bue, fight every election", also combined with full DNC backing to non-koolaid drinking candidates if they had better chances of winning. And it worked.
Fortunately for sane people everywhere, Howard didn't suck Clinton cock and his strategy, while effective, was expensive - that was money Clinton would need for her 2016 campaign. So he was kicked out in 2009, and his strategy abandoned** and we saw the deep red flipping of 2010.
** This is not quite as dumb as it sounds. The Republican apartatus had already started to adapt to Dean's plan, so the already expensive 50-state plan was likely to get more so as republicans in "safe" areas realized they needed to up their game and they planned to go harder in contested areas; 2010 they were able to use Barry Hussein's campaign funds to pull double duty and ease the hurt, but going into 2010 the DNC warchest was hurting.
So the 50-state plan was not sustainable once the Republicans woke up. But the DNC let a bunch of seats go red that could have been held fairly easily because the person in them didn't vote 100% DNC lockstep.
