Before the Dems dump Hillary they first need to pick a successor. They have no bench.
I keep hearing the Democrats have no bench, no apparent party leader for the future.
Jimmy Carter emerged out of a similar situation to become the 1976 nominee, and won the election that year.
Ditto with Bill Clinton, who was little known nationally before running for president. He too emerged from a crowded primary field which had no strong front runner.
All I’m saying is that there will be a Democrat nominee in 2020, and that person will take their shot at Trump, regardless of what’s going on with the Clinton sideshow at that time.
