SNOPES: What We Know So Far About WikiLeaks' #DNCLeaks

[merrily]

16. The DNC *and* the media, hand in hand, much as we've been saying all year. "Unquestionably."

There's not been a sense of someone's turn on the Dem side until Clinton, unless there was an incumbent President or Vice President, like Truman or Gore.

Truman, an incumbent, sadly, by reason of FDR's death; then Eisenhower (R). JFK had to fight like anything for his nomination. Then LBJ was, sadly, an incumbent by reason of the assassination. 1968, Humphrey, an incumbent VP (plus a lot of special circumstances, like assassinations). Then McGovern, who got the nomination seemingly out of nowhere, probably mostly because no one else wanted it, knowing war time incumbent Nixon would win. Then Carter who seemed to come out of nowhere. Then Mondale, an incumbent VP. Then Dukakis, who also seemed to come out of nowhere. Then Clinton, whose turn it was seen to be, despite his young age. But, he had been in politics since he met Senator Fulbright while he (Clinton) was in high school. Then, Gore, an incumbent VP and fellow DLC founding member. Then Obama, who seemed to come out of nowhere. Then, Hillary, whose turn it's supposed to be.

As far as the Republicans, yes, right up until Romney. No one thinks in power on the right thinks it's Trump's turn, though.

In any case, primary voters thinking it's someone's turn is one thing. The DNC and the RNC "making it so" is quite another.
