It is my opinion the very deep pocket DNC contributors not filling the DNC coffers is a very clear signal that they do not have any confidence at all that any of the dems running have a snowballs chance in hell of beating President Trump.
They are in my opinion correct in that belief.
And after the shenanigans against Bernie Sanders in 2016, the Democrat voters will have a howling fury if the party leadership tries to wedge in a candidate who was not even a contender in the primaries.
I don’t think that their leadership thought this through.
