I have no delusions, with a crowded field we will end up with candidates trying to appeal to a variety of the sub-groups of the democratic party. That's how the repubs ended up with Trump. He appealed to the bitter whiteness within a lot of conservatives. There will be a candidate that gets the bitter non-white vote on the left. I have complete confidence that whoever ends up winning the dem. nomination will be light years beyond Trump.
You are wrong on a number of counts; Trump got the nomination because most people were tired of politicians period, because none of the dwarves running for the nomination could have won, and because he absolutely drove libs wild ... for starters anyway.
I agree and said so a day or two ago that the DIm party is going to be in the same position this time - except so far it's just 13 dwarves, and there's every chance that their very divisiveness will split your party. A moderate wont appease the far left and one of the radicals will drive moderates away. So far you don't have either a unifier or someone who can appeal to the entire spectrum because he/she represents something other than tired old politics.
Your last candidate was so abhorrent that she couldn't even pick up enough moderate and independent votes to beat Trump, and that's pretty bad; she would have pulled it off if the GOP had gone with another Romney type clown.
