Donnodubus: The Primary mostly gets settled by Iowa and South Carolina — states that won't go Democrat anyway. Maybe the party should design a primary that actually reflects their EC roadmap to victory, plus find a way to engage voters who don't normally show up to primaries but do for the general!

I'm constantly marveling at Trump's luck as a politician. He only won in 2016 because he ran against one of the Democrats' weakest candidates. In 2024 he ends up running against someone even weaker.

Counterpoint is that if the other possibilities were so much stronger, why didn’t they win their own party’s nomination?
