Let the wicked fall upon the wicked. This is Dem on Dem fire.
I believe Hillary is being set up to fail well before the nomination.
And you watch. Some relative unknown will be groomed and pulled out of the DNC wings and brought forward. Another like Obama. They will then make a Rock star out of that person and seek to delude the American people once again.
Castro.
The liberal Democrat establishment is trying to find an “honorable” way for Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless, to drop out of the race for good and all. Herself is damaging the Democrat brand badly, and Bernie Sanders comes off as looking good.
Any Latinos with a relatively unblemished record out there in the wings? Julian Castro seems to be the one of only a few rising stars within the Democrats, and he is relatively unknown as yet. Luis Gutierrez is another possibility. Both have excellent resumes in the eyes of Democrat power brokers, and SOMETHING has to counter Ted Cruz or Marco Ruberio.
The Øbongo Crime Syndicate has sucked all the air out of the room leaving nothing for anyone else, much less the Hildebeast. I suspect he did so deliberately - how could his ego resist?
I like your theory of another dark-horse (can we say that?! LOL) candidate waiting in the wings but he sure didn’t leave them much to work with. Not that the field isn’t fertile ground for fresh faces. After all, we have the Dowager Queen waiting to assume her “rightful place” on the throne, Bernie playing the part of Don Quixote, and Martin O’Malley as the Mad Hatter.
I still want to know what zero told Hillary in 2008 that got her to back out.
Watch out for Jerry Brown. Rich, smart, experienced-governor, extremely ambitious, and extremely left-wing. Even though he’s not a spring chicken, he knows how to talk blah-blah to millenials. He’s made a non-trivial run for president before.
Except for being white and male, he’s almost the perfect D candidate. IMHO, it’s his for the taking if he wants it.
