If only Gary Hart hadn't had his indiscretion and dropped out in 1988. A non third-way Democrat beating Bush would be awesome. No President Bush. No other President Bush. Probably no President Clinton. And Hart would have been a decent President.

Hart is not a fan of Hillary.

Please liberals, take the advice and nominate Sanders or Warren. 

And say hello to President Walker.

Right, the conservative Democrat always wins. Mark Pryor didn't just lose by 17 points. Got it.

1. Believing that a more conservative Democratic nominee is more electable than a much more liberal one does not mean that said conservative Democratic nominee will win, just that they'll do better than the alternative.  If Liz Warren ran in Arkansas, she would've lost by more than 17 points.  It's a conservative state.

2. Comparing Hillary to Mark Pryor is disingenuous.  To my understanding, Hillary supports gun control, raising the minimum wage, opposes the Keystone XL pipeline, and has other positions well to the left of Pryor.

Baldwin, Brown, and Franken are liberal Democrats who won in swing states. And not a single class 2 or 3 Senator is a Senate Democrat from a Romney state, regardless of how liberal or conservative the nominees were.
