re: #41 KGxvi

See, this gets to my belief that the DNC has not done a good job with developing a deep bench, so to speak.

I get the feeling that the DNC this year has ended up being too much like the Republicans, where the nominee is the last contest’s runner-up.

Name recognition is really important - see Trump.

Clinton is one of the few Dems that has very high name recognition.

Many of the so-called rising stars of the Democrats have very little name recognition outside their little corner of this big country.
