    I remember everyone saying “don’t worry, he won’t win” the first time.

    Forgive my if I maintain a pessimistic view this time around.

      If Democrats take this seriously, they might have to vary their messaging or worse – do something that might appeal to the despised left of the party.

      If they just take victory as a foregone conclusion, they don’t have to do shit. They can always blame the left of the party for any losses and use that as an excuse to move even farther to the right.
