He succeeded in sending Jeb (and 16 others) to the showers in
the quest for the Republican nomination for president.
Now it looks like The Donald may also be able to create a similar
fate for Hillary Clinton as well: http://www.thedailybell.com/news-analysis/mainstream-media-follows-trumps-suit-in-bashing-clinton/
The article speculates that Trump’s ability to brand an opponent
with a negative label that sticks has been extremely effective in
dispatching them to the sidelines in the race to the White House.
Considering the extent of her problems with a long litany of previous
scandals on top of the current criminal investigation into her use of
a private e-mail server as Secretary of State, it’s not just Democratic
voters who are unhappy with Mrs. Clinton’s election prospects.
Whereas Bernie Sanders has until recently soft-pedaled his rival’s
many problems, the bolder, less cautious and pugnacious Trump may
do to Hillary what he did to those 16 wannabes who ran against him.
The article is interesting and may prove to be true if the man from Vermont
keeps saying things like “Hillary will be a disaster for the Democratic Party!”

I think he is correct, especially now that her opponent will almost
definitely be Trump. The article presumes it will be Biden (and
Warren) heading the ticket rather than Sanders.
But if that happens, his supporters are likely to bolt and say no to such
an obvious manipulation of the process. If Hillary bows out because of
her legal problems, Sanders will have a clear claim to the nomination.
Anything less will be another indication the process is rigged which is
the basis for the revolt against the established leaders of both parties.
At this point, the appropriate nominees of their respective parties should
be Trump and Sanders. The Donald won his fair and square. If Hillary
departs, Bernie deserves the win.
And if all this isn’t confusing enough, keep in mind that anything can
happen in the next 6 months to disrupt the entire process in either or
both parties including Convention fights, third-party formations, the
death or indictment of candidates and the suspension of the election.
N.B.: Here’s the apparent plan: get Bernie to drop out and then have
Hillary cop a deal with Barack in order to avoid prosecution. Then
Biden and Warren will top the Democratic ticket!
Having failed to defeat one insurgent (Trump), “they” are going after
the other one (Sanders). I predict it ain’t gonna work!
