Despite a nuclear Iran looming on the horizon, the media seem to be putting most of their attention on two candidates for their respective parties' presidential nominations next year. Moreover, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump each make their own party nervous.
If next year's election comes down to Clinton vs. Trump, a lot of people may simply stay home in disgust.
When we are this far away from the official start of the primary election season, we can usually just say, "It's still early days."
Many a front-runner this early in the process ended up out of the running by the time the party conventions were held, and totally forgotten by Election Day.
That is the way it usually is. But that is not likely to be the way it will be this time.
This is Hillary Clinton's last hurrah. It is now or never for her. And the Democrats have nobody comparable as a vote-getter to put in her place.
Even if an investigation finds Mrs. Clinton guilty of violating the law in the way she handled emails when she was secretary of state, the Obama administration is not likely to prosecute her. And President Obama can always pardon her, so the next administration can't prosecute her either. So Hillary doesn't even have to take a plea bargain.
Someone with a sense of shame might well withdraw from the contest for the Democratic Party's nomination, now that public opinion polls show that most people distrust her. But since when have the Clintons ever had a sense of shame?
