The two questions I see on the dem side are: is the country ready to understand the difference between democratic socialism and communist dictatorships like Russia or China? Have we finally gotten past McCarthyism? Will Bill's loose cannon defensiveness of his record create trouble? Will Hillary be able to outlast the email cloud? Republicans face a more daunting battle. Trump and Cruz raise serious quesitons about the base and its attitude. If campaign gets to Cleveleand with no one having the 1237, I can see a scenario where they give it to Paul Ryan (note the campaing-style ad yesterday) and Trump mounts a 3rd Party run. Question is just how toxic Trump's ego is and if he can get financial backing to run an independant run. Will he risk that kind of money without it?
