Someone please take that kid's keys away

My gut reaction was to agree with Matt and Josh about the need for a candidate to be able to confidently attack the horrific policies of the past 7 years - particularly if another attack were to occur.

But then Josh's line about Hillary possibly being afraid of the American peoples capacity to know what they want and wondered about the recurring phenomena of American Idol winners tending to fail spectacularly while runner's up tend to go on to be more successful. What happens to democracy when voters lose the ability - for whatever reason - to actually select their preferred choice?
