Sad thing is, the GOP started with some good ones in the mix. Kasich is a proven leader with a solid record. But no, too many idiot voters believed in Trump's BS-fest of a campaign.
True...but I think the same can be said of the Dems...they set it up to be a coronation of Hillary and with the exception of Bernie, no other voices have been heard.
The path taken by Clinton to get the nomination has been very normal. The GOP's selection process has been a bloodbath and the voters went way out of their way to derail the GOP establishment in selecting Trump.
Except she has lost a number of states to an avowed socialist/communist, so it's been anything but normal.
C'mon you're kidding right - the super delegate system has done nothing but helped her...and do you mean to tell me there are no other qualified Dems that should have put their hat in the ring from the beginning?
The number of super delegates she has are way out of proportion to the number of allocated delegates she has gotten. She does still have a pretty good lead in allocated delegates though - around 200.
Martin O'Malley was considered a rising star for the Democrats, that was until he opened his mouth. Hillary took most of the oxygen out of the room early in the race. O'Malley couldn't distinguish himself from the pack. Sanders is still in it because his message was significantly different. Same could be said of Webb, but he doesn't sound like Larry Sanders.
