5. One would THINK that this is a clever Republican strategy to trot out a string of losers

Only to have a serious, viable candidate come riding in on his shining white horse to save his Party's sorry ass from looking foolish in the general.

And yet--in the last two presidential contests, for the last two election cycles, on the Republican roster there was no such serious, viable candidate anywhere to be found. Instead, they ran two of the weakest tickets that party has run since Alf Landon.

For this reason, I have a healthy respect for the Democratic party primary battle this/next year (as I did in 2008). For now, anyway, I see the nominee of the Democratic Party in 2016 as being the person inaugurated on January 20, 2017. Just because Hillary has done this before doesn't mean she will avoid making mistakes this time. Just because Bernie has not done this before, it does not mean he is automatically to be counted out.
