Please DNC, Please: Make it part of the rules [View all]

that NO PERSON can EVER again run for President of the United States as a Democratic candidate using the resources and goodwill of the Democratic Party unless that person has been a member of the party for at least some period LONGER than a couple months' worth of that person's political life. I would suggest 4-5 years, at least.

This 2016 experiment has been a MAJOR FAIL.

That is not simply my opinion.
