2. Out of that "incredible number of really qualified people" I hope it quickly narrows down

Like, down to three or four people who turn out to be just DYNAMITE candidates, any of which we would be thrilled to have as president. Well-spoken, up on the issues, convincing, sincere and with a sense of both humor AND justice. I would NOT want a Republican-style circus.

Then the also-rans can throw in behind the primary winner, and have a harmonious, united campaign, with the also-rans being not only qualified for cabinet positions or leadership positions in Congress, but also pulling weight FOR out ticket instead of being a drag on it with "oh, well, if you insist" support. No more Rahm Emmanuel. No more Dennis Kucinich. Sanders I don't include, as he is not a member of our party. If he has something to contribute to the discourse, by all means, let's hear it. But NOT as part of our primary selection process. I respect his decision to leave the party after the 2016 primary season. I would NOT respect a return-of-convenience.
