As Trump reels, Democrats wonder which of their candidates can beat him

… On paper, the field of candidates running for the Democratic nomination was everything the party’s rank-and-file might have hoped for. It was big, offering more choices than ever. It was experienced, with candidates from every level of government and beyond. It included more women and minorities than ever at a time when their voices were redefining the party. It was generationally and geographically diverse.

Yet to date, there’s been little that has given Democrats the confidence that their nomination process will produce a challenger strong enough, appealing enough and politically skilled enough to withstand what will be a brutal general election against a weakened and vulnerable president. CONT.
