I for one hope that Hillary's overly inflated ego doens't allow her to step aside and she gets the nomination.
It greatly increases the chances of a Republican being sworn in if she decides to see this through.
Indeed. And many Dems instinctively know it.
The problem for them is Hillary Clinton is a Clinton. They don't back down when their money and reputations are on the line. If they don't knock her out of contention in the next couple of weeks, she will be their nominee.
Obama won in part because he was an unknown. -And a charismatic unknown can be everything to everyone. The Dems need that in the equation again, or they need the Republican to also be a known quantity.
-Which is why they have gone full-on Brer Rabbit with Jeb Bush.
*Oh NOES !!!! The only wascilly wepublican that can beet Hillary is Jeb Bush !!11! I weely hope they dont nominate him !!111!!!Yeah, right..

- The only reason they want Jeb as the nom is so it can be 2nd Clinton vs 3rd Bush - which gives Hillary a fighting chance. Everybody else on the Republican slate so far is a threat to another Clinton victory, except maybe Chris Christie. And that's only because he cant help but to walk into his own rhetorical land mines.
Well, and Trump.. But.. yeah. -- that ain't happening.
