Had Clinton not run, who would have been on the DNC bench?

11. Hmmm.

1. Doubtful. I think even DP knows the ceiling of capacity at this point of his aspirations. If he wanted to run down the road, he might do well to take a federal position in the Democratic regime. He wouldn't be any more viable than someone like Cuomo or Malloy in 2016...northeastern Democratic governors who govern to the right of their state bases, making them less than popular in their own state.

2.) Is already in anyways.

3.) I don't think she would have any appeal outside the Midwest. I can't find even that many loyal and involved Democrats here in CT that knows who the heck she is. The ones that do say things like "She wouldn't be in my top 5 choices but Sen. Klobuchar is okay I guess." I just don't see her generating a lot of enthusiasm or having established herself on a national stage at a level to be viable.

4.) This. This is whose candidacy Hillary is really hurting.
