I think this is one of the few interesting questions , because really - aside from tracking how many EVs Hillary will ultimately get and watching the occasional tire fires that Trump starts - the race is over and there never has been a serious policy discussion on anything.
I think it's interesting to think of the DEM racse as:
- Sanders
- Biden
- Hillary
- Kaine
- Booker
This would have required the DNC actively allowing or seeking out mroe competition for Hillary. To me IMO there was an actiove effort to keep people out. I don't want to prove that or get into a link war, it's just my POV, basically they did not expect Sanders to do what he di, purely IMO. He was supposed to be at worst a foil for Hillary and at best landing next to Chafee, Webb and O'Malley. It's worth pointing out I think that Kaine was originally the DNC chairman before DWS, who was always and is a total Hillary loyalist. Kaine steps down, he runs for Senate, he wins and lo & behold he is the VP.
And for the GOP, something more like:
- Cruz
- Rubio
- Kasich
- Paul
- Bush
That to me would have been a normal race which could have resulted in some normal choices in the general for us (by which I mean Kasich). This would have required the GOP basically kicking out Trump so this is pretend land. It also would have required them doing what the DNC did and that is tightly control who really got in the race.
I don't think Hillary wins with tehse choices and I don't think Cruz does either.
