The problem with Biden and Lurch are that the establishment won’t get likely behind those. Biden is a well known nutso-quantity, and there are many — including Gowdy (who said Impeachment of Obama is off the table because “Have you MET Joe Biden)? — who know it. Lurch has a failure on his record, fatal in national politics. I could be wrong; I often am.
Problem is Democrats have no real bench - no one under 60 with name recognition who can win a national election.
If Hillary is screwed, Trump wins by default.
If you asked me during the summer whether I could see any way Hillary could not become President, I would have said you were joking.
Here we are in mid-September and a Hillary defeat looks very likely to happen.
What a difference a few months makes.
