We continue to hear that it is inevitable that Hillary will win her party’s nomination. More and more the caveat is added “but she may not win the general election”. And this is what the LEFT is saying.

What does this say about the state of today’s Democratic Party?

What does it say about liberalism itself, that Hillary may well win by default, that there is no rising star, only staid 70’s and 80’s vintage pols in the wings who are proven losers?

Liberals wanted liberalism, and with Barack Obama they got it. Liberalism itself is now being seen in an entirely different light than a mere few years ago. Liberal governance is failing every where you look. This is the toxic atmosphere in which any Democrat must operate in 2016.

I think Barack Obama’s presidency has destroyed the Democratic Party. Evidence abounds that reliable factions of support from the past can no longer be counted upon.

Millenials are moving away from them. Women voters feel betrayed. No, not all, but enough to make a significant difference in the coming election. Will blacks turn out for Hillary like they did for Barack? I don’t think so. Independent voters? Lost. Unions? Wounded severely and reconsidering allegiances.

Things have gotten so bad for the left that their vaunted media are showing signs of opting for self-preservation. It had to happen, after all, it is they who sold us Barack Obama.

So I don’t think it matters that Hillary may well survive to gain the nomination, or that someone may rise up to defeat her.

Whoever wins the Democratic Party’s nomination for 2016 will be boarding a ship with holes in its sails.

Wish I could agree with you. That may be how these groups feel today, but by the last week in October of 2016, after being told endlessly by the media what a racist, sexist scoundrel the GOP candidate is, they will once again be standing in line to pull the lever for the Dem candidate. Doesn't matter if it is Hillary or someone else, these groups will be out in masse. And to make matters worse, they will be joined by millions of third worlders, voting for the first time, to pick the pocket of the US taxpayer.
