Clinton must be good for GOP to attack her

There are good things about the contraction of the presidential nomination race to two candidates from each party — the moments of humor and the simplification of choices.

Now there are two things to remember about this process.

First, we are looking to fill the position of president of the United States, not some idiotic vote-them-off-the-island reality show.

Second, the nightmare scenario for the Republicans is that the Democrats would actually solve, or at least make major progress, on the mess created these past seven years. Would the national Republicans deny responsibility for the mess and sabotage the efforts to fix them? Have you noticed how they deal with the Iraq war?

The easy way to tell the best Democratic candidate for president is to see who the Republicans attack. Go Hillary.
