“I see no reason for us to coalesce around anyone until Hillary or someone commits.”
We need to coalesce to defeat the republican Establishment first, and their preferred candidate, Jeb (or his backstop, Marco). THEN we can focus on the democrat.
Your thinking is the Establishment game: “we need to nominate somebody who can win, who can beat the democrat” then their candidate never beats the democrat. They focus on the democrat instead of focusing on choosing their best candidate (which always ends up being the worst possible choice). They focus on winning the independents and “Reagan democrats.”
We’ve done it their way several times before with no result. No more moderate losers who can “beat Hillary.” Nominate a conservative and any democrat will be toast! That’s why we need to coalesce early.
God, I can’t imagine Jeb Bush....
Absolutely correct. Focus on the electorate and winning them to our cause.
