[CounterCounterCulture]

This construction becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Voters, convinced that only the ordained front-runners have a chance, find their choices limited to the front-runners and dutifully pick and choose from among their number. The second tier of candidates are thus automatically eliminated from the contest. This is a lousy way to choose the candidate you want running America for the next four years. Among that second tier are men of probity and competence who stand head and shoulders above the top tier yet are ruled out of the competition by what is an exercise in false logic.

It's what I've been saying for years. We defeat ourselves by succumbing to this "he can't win" mentality, especially when it's early in the game. Do not listen to the talking heads. Vote your head and your conscience. Volunteer. Donate. Do something! Just don't let somebody else pick your candidate for you.
