Agree with Lawrence on this one, but she would be almost 3 years late in doing them the favour.

They lost because Hillary personified dated Capitol Hill policies and attitudes to a T.  They needed a disruptor and what they fielded was a fuddy-duddy.  

Sanders would have had a better shot, and the slate of potential candidates Martin instanced (with the glaring exception of Michelle) could also pound Pence/Trump next time around.
