7. Again, at this stage, I cannot see a Dem jumping in to save the party.

If that were to happen, and Hillary steps out, then I can only imagine that Bernie would make a sweep of the primaries.

I would put that down for any challenger against an establishment that faces a shakeup.

Would DWS just miraculously create more debates?

Would the establishment join ranks with Bloomberg?

It would be a turn-off to Democrats, frankly, and could spell a real nutbuster of an election cycle.

...and that's why only having 3 candidates, since one is inevitable , is a bad idea.
