The hecatomb of unsuccessful Democratic candidates raises questions about the current viability of the Democrats that they will have to address in the next four years. It appears that the powers that be in that party were so fixated on the easy disposability of President Trump that they gave little thought to making a serious race of it this year. They mixed their own Russian-collusion Kool-Aid, posted it down, and now are discovering that it was hemlock. The party elders apparently thought they had placated the Sanders faction by reserving superdelegates to a second ballot, which neither American political party has needed to hold at its convention for more than 80 years.
Source corrected.

This article states that neither party has had to go to a second ballot at its convention for more than 80 years, The 1952 Democratic Convention went to a third ballot.
It refers to Marianne Williamson as an evangelical Christian. She is not.

Good article.
Responding to #1, the errors that you point out are accurate. I would add that not only is Marianne Williamson not a Christian, that she is also a spaced-out wackjob.

It all traces back to the dims' coverup of Spygate. All the dims' efforts during and following Spygate have focused on their coverup. Obie and the party thought they had Billary in the bag in 2016 to carry on with the new world order and transformation of America. They did not expect President Trump to be nominated let alone win in 2016. They did not expect him to neuter them, the globalists, and the msm since he took office despite the criminal abuse they have exacted on him. The President knew going in what he was dealing with. The worst human beings on the planet. The dims had no Plan B. They thought they could rely on the msm to keep their Spygate coverup out of sight.
Thus the dim party is morally, politically, and spiritually bankrupt. Hence, bottom of the barrel candidates have come and gone trying to pretend they were candidates while trying to portray a very effective President as evil and not belonging. Meanwhile, we the people caught on to what the dims, msm, deep state, and the globalists were up to. This is how we got here. And the story isn't over yet. AG Barr and Durham will be writing the next chapter.

I couldn’t tell if Black was being sarcastic about Sherrod Brown, but I don’t think of him as being promising in any way whatsoever. Peter Schweizer included him in his Profiles in Corruption, not the sort of notice Brown would like to have attracted...

NR is only concerned about unsuccessful dhimmicrat candidates because they need to pick one to go full never-Trump again.

While all Democrats are Marxists, Biden offered Cabinet seats doled out by Baraq Hussein and Michelle, the predicted VP candidate.

#4- Agree, unable to discern Mr. Black’s intent about Sherrod Brown. For whatever it’s worth, Sherrod Brown’s background indicates a variety of “associations” with socialism. In 2012, the Heritage Foundation “rated Brown as even further to the political left than Senator Bernie Sanders, an open socialist.” In 2006, when he ran for the Senate, “his campaign was supported by the Ohio Democratic Socialists of America...the Progressive Democrats of America,...” In 2003 he served on the advisory committee of the Progressive Majority. In 1998 he was listed as a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. When he was Ohio’s Secretary of State in 1990, his office “awarded a certificate of recognition to Rick Nagin, chairman of the state’s Communist Party USA chapter, for having registered more than 2,00 voters during his failed campaign for Cleveland City Council.” In 1974 Brown received a Bachelors of Arts degree in Russian studies from Yale University.

They have declared their pandemic, with single digit number of cases in most states brought in by people who won't stop traveling.
