Which is not to say that Clinton herself will necessarily be an unbeatable candidate. She spent the past two months holding 45 campaign events in 18 hard-fought states, but almost all the big candidates she stumped for lost, from Alison Lundergan Grimes in Kentucky to Bruce Braley in Iowa. Many will say her campaign skills are still rusty — and she certainly won’t be heading into 2016 with many chits to cash in. But that doesn’t change one simple fact: Even a huge GOP victory shows how much catching up the Republican have to do if they want to defeat Hillary in 2016.
Who needs facts when you're trying to pave the way for an anointing?
That effort has been underway since before the 2012 re-election. Unprecedented. And, entirely undemocratic.
Then again, so is doing away with primaries when a Democrat is in the White House and so are super delegates, but we took all that with barely a whimper. Just feed us a meme about how primaries hurt Democrats; and most of us fall right in line. Then again, why raise a fuss over DNC rules and practices when we don't do it over our Constitutional rights? Pffft.
