She was “next in line” and “first woman” etc.

Not their best option, by any measure.

Sort of the democrat equivalent of the Dole, McCain, Romney scenarios.

Maybe the Demorats will select the next few candidates based on “its my turn.”

If you could place Romney, McCain and Dole in a large blender and swirl them all together and then pour this goo into a frame of Hillary and shock it to life this revitalized goo mix would be head and shoulders better candidate than the original.

I was just thinking that earlier. Whenever the elites of either party put forward the one who is considered next in line, they lose.

The pubbies tried to give us tippy toes Jeb but we rebelled.

“Next in line”. Excellent point that should be paid attention to by both sides.

Also, notice that the Democrats are all about group identity politics. They gave us the first Catholic, the first black. This year they tried for the first woman. If they actually had principles and a platform other than identity politics, they might be worth listening to. They need to put forth arguments on the basis of rationality, not on the basis of feeling, grievance, and entitlements.
