Ten applicants for one job, when you hire one applicant does that mean the rest are being punished?

This is in response to the claim that not wanting Hillary to be the Democratic nominee because of her vote for the IWR is "punishing" her.

I don't see it that way but clearly some folks disagree.

What do you think, is the employer "punishing" the other nine applicants if they don't get the job?
