Democratic Primaries

If she were to somehow lose, it would have a massively deleterious effect overall on the Party as she is a truly national presence and is a large magnet for younger voters to become involved in politics themselves.

Too many on here want their own form of purity test, which is to purge as much as the further left from the Party as is possible. Our party is a big tent party, and that includes people further to the left than many moderate, centrists, and even more conservative Democrats. It takes a wide spectrum to capture a broad enough swathe of the overall vote to become a truly dominant force again. If you lurch too far to the centre and centre right to attempt to capture moderate Republicans, you will eventually hit an inflection point where the law of diminishing returns kicks in and we start to haemorrhage more from the further left than we gain from the centre or centre right.
