The remarkably thin Democratic bench just got badly exposed

The truth — as exposed by Clinton's stunning loss to Donald Trump on Tuesday night — was that the Democratic bench was (and is) remarkably thin, a sign of both the relative ill health of the party downballot and the isolated appeal of Obama.

Think about it: Why was Clinton essentially handed the nomination in early 2015? After all, she had failed once already as a front-runner in 2008. And, she represented a political theory — Clintonism — that was clearly running out of gas in an increasingly tribal and polarized political world. Not to mention that she would be 68 on Election Day 2016, not exactly the next generation of leadership for the party. The reason for the “Clinton or bust” strategy was simple: There simply wasn't anyone else.

Their bench is startlingly thin. If they don't start winning state elections, they will have a tough time putting up qualified candidates.
