I would much rather that Hillary suddenly collapse in Aug 2016.

Be mindful of the flip side of that. Consider a calculated delay in her collapse, or perhaps even the unintended consequences of a late collapse - it allows little time for vetting those waiting in the wings, by a press that has no desire to vet in the first place. Besides, a party whose base is geared towards worship of their latest demi-god, the peak of their popularity might be timed for a last-minute introduction to the fray that generates the highest votes for Nov 2016.
