That is one terrifyingly concise analysis.

Why terrifying? Being “everyone’s second choice” has been a presidential nomination tactic for a long time. Abraham Lincoln used it successfully and its always been a tactic used more by Republicans than by Democrats. Of course until the 1960’s this tactic wasn’t as viable for Democratic presidential hopefuls because of how regionally divided the Democrats were back then.
