There has been this theory out there that a number of Hillary supporters in Michigan were complacent as the polls showed her up by 20 and so voted against Trump in an open primary.
"Bad news for Hillary: people in Ohio hate Trump so much that Democrats there may jump the fence and vote in the Republican primary Tuesday. This is one reason why Hillary lost Michigan this week. The second reason was Republicans jumping the fence the other way, to vote for Sanders. An added problem: the local judge decided at the last minute that 17-year-olds can vote in the Ohio primary. I’m sure Sanders sent the judge a nice fruit basket."
"So, possibly, Bernie scores an upset in the Ohio primary, but Hillary still wins the nomination. And then in November she wins Ohio, and with it the election. Which would be just fine with me."
"Anybody out there in Ohio, remind people that Job One is to get Hillary nominated. Let HER beat Trump when it’s her turn. Stick with your party!"

I only half agree with #NeverTrump. We never want Trump to be President and he won't. But we should really want him to be the Republican nominee.
Why would any Democrat want different? I'm mystified.
Lately Trump's rallies are truly taking us back to 1968. As Boston Globe writer Michael Cohen said Friday night in Chicago was how Wallace rallies were every night.

Brian Beutler has been one of the few liberals who get that we Democrats should want Trump to be the nominee. Again, I'm holding my fire on him until then.

Beutler criticizes this silly view that liberals would rather see a President Marco Rubio, et. al.

"Bush wasn't unbound by democratic checks in a vacuum. He benefitted from a deeply complicit Congress and (to a lesser extent) judiciary."
https://twitter.com/brianbeutler/status/708737688375939072
"ALL non-Trump candidates, if elected, would be given the same latitude, and Rubio in particular would be inclined toward the same excesses."
https://twitter.com/brianbeutler/status/708738371686780928
"Under Trump, by contrast, Congress would reassert itself as it hasn't in over 30 years–assuming he pursued his agenda as we think he would"

Thank you. I mean it's absurd that you have the same people who said W kept us safe, also criticizing Trump on waterboarding.
As Krugman says, the same media that is so shocked by the fall of truthfulness with Trump took W completely seriously.
At the end of the day, Beutler is right. Trump would actually hit the same kind of wall that Bernie would in the unlikely case he were elected.
"Our institutions are flawed and weaker than they should be, but they are still robust enough to thwart an interloper."

"The real danger isn't electing a demagogue who has powerful enemies. It's in electing a pliant party-man who has none."

I'm so glad he is saying this because it needs to be said.
I've argued all along:
1. I want Trump to win the nomination as Hillary can blow him out in the general.
2. While him winning is very unlikely, in the unlikely case he did, his Administration would probably not be any worse than Marco Rubio's.
3. Certainly for women, a Rubio Administration would probably be worse as he's so rabidly against a woman's right to choose.

3. Certainly for women, a Rubio Administration would probably be worse as he's so rabidly against a woman's right to choose.
4. Even on stuff like Trump's immigration crackdown and Muslim ban, Rubio hasn't exactly pushed back on this very hard.
He more or less ruled nothing Trump has advocated off the table. He promised to reverse DACA on day one.
He corrected Trump's Muslim crackdown by saying that it's not just mosques that need to be watched.
In any case, you play to win, not to lose and I have to believe Hillary wins this one going away. The election betting odds have her at 63% chance of being the next President.
Trump is second but only at 20%. This means she has about a 3 to 1 chance against him. I'll take those odds.
