1. We'd find out, wouldn't we? If others run, it's because in spite of her being the prohibitive favorite, they perceive her as being vulnerable. My bet is that they're right - she is vulnerable. I don't think it would take a huge shove to push her off the cliff.
2. The counter to that is that the media would like to create a sense of inevitability to Sh!itlery, and to the degree that they succeed, that's bad. On the other hand, a primary fight pierces that sense of inevitability, and it then can become a real race. And I think our guys are better, and will win on merit.
3. Always a possibility. But last time, the Kenyan anti-Christ was able to set up McCain as the surrogate for President Bush, who was none too like. This time, the Dem will have the mirror problem of having to answer for the Kenyan. I think the economy will continue to limp along, and people will be ready for a change. And the Kenyan ain't it.
So, in summary, you never know how it will go. We could wind up with President O’Malley. Or worse. But I think it's more likely that if someone gives Sh!itlery a hard run for the money, we'll inaugurate President Walker or Cruz on Jan 20, 2017.
Just my guess.
