I agree; the Democrats want Hillary to lose.

1) Hillary’s loss will mean the end of the Clinton era of influence peddling. The Chicago mob would for all practical purposes run the party apparatus.

2) The Democrats have to run against someone, to avoid the kinds of debacles that occurred in 2010 and 2014. Trump is, in their minds, the perfect bogeyman to help them regain control of the Senate in 2018, and perhaps the House in 2020.

3) S is about to HTF. So much easier to blame it on a sitting President than a former one, and Trump would be the sitting President who would receive all the blame.

4) With Clinton’s loss, the torch will be passed to a new, much more socialist, much more progressivist, much more ideologically pure generation of politicians. Leftists who think of the Clintons, Pelosi, Schumer, and most of the CBC as too old and not leftist enough would be able to rise up and claim the mantle of True Progressives.

P.S. Warren is toast. The 2020 nomination is Michelle’s, if she wants it.

The Dems are batshit insane if they think Manchell is going to fly as a Presidential candidate. Xe has never even held office before.

5) With the impending second housing bubble and financial meltdown approaching, they'd like nothing more than to get a Republican into office so they can blame him.
