Here's the Worst Reason to Stay in the Democratic Primary Yet
Typically elections go as follows: Someone wins, a few other people get credit for almost-winning, and everyone else goes home to cry into their lucrative book deals or paid cable news gigs.
But the current Democratic primary is anything but ordinary; it’s an overstuffed Frankenstein’s monster of bloated egos and interests that shows no sign of slowing its ulcer-inducing slog toward 2020, which is why some decidedly second-tier candidates are desperately trying to spin their inevitable losses into something resembling victory—no matter how insane and desperate it sounds.
Take, for instance, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, currently running 9th in multiple national polls. Nevertheless, Klobuchar would like the public to believe that coming in sixth in the Iowa caucus—still nearly six months away!—would constitute a win.
