She will rally the disintegrating base like no one else. They will not only win the WH but will pick up Congressional seats if she's on the ticket. Almost as good for the radical regressives as having a gay marriage ban on the ticket.

Imagine you are a corporate press mover and shaker, a "decider"-- with an agenda to maintain the
corporate status quo in Washington and the world at large and a big budget to help get you there.
Imagine you are repeatedly reminded who to keep in office, who to newly elect in order to insure that plan was forever viable and intact.
When the right wing of the bird is broken and flailing... you need to prop it up, make it look better. Best way to do that is to make the left wing look worse.
Imagine you had all decided (you and your cohorts in the corp press) that the best and perhaps only way to insure that your guys stay in power and survive a left wing coup, is to mightily endorse the candidate for Pres on the other side the least likely to succeed... the most polarizing, and - because you're in Info-Tainment- the one who would also provide the most entertainment value whilst being swifted. Guaranteeing a win for your guy and a good time for viewers while bringing the opposition down.
Because you not only have the budget-- you know you have the airwaves, most all of them, ergo-- the power to influence.
The Hillary formula. And the reason the Media have donated more to Hillary over the past 4 years than anyone else.
