Well, if we follow the current model, we need a cocaine sniffing black racist with a clouded background, who smokes cigarettes and can't be interrupted while eating waffles.

Yeah, that would work if the opponents put up a candidate that gets the nomination because "it is his turn", who really won't stand for their core principles, who is a poor campaigner, who is unwilling to engage in the fight, who will keep zig-zagging reacting to issues rather than having a consistent philosophy and stay on message, and who will vote for something 95% of his own party hates during the middle of the campaign.

But I would not count on the opponents doing that despite past history and might try something a little more thought out.

Neatly summed up.
