that. It would be presented as saving money for the general election, not giving the GOP any ammunition from the debates and campaigns, and avoiding rifts in the party. What it would do, of course, is cause a rift in the party.
I cannot think of any other reason for the relentless and almost demented pushing of "Hillary is inevitable".

If it's inevitable let's just forgo the process, declare the heirs to the throne now based on polls, and put the money normally wasted on elections to some good use.


That's the plan. But the money won't be put to good use, it will stay in those big fat war chests.
