Why Democrats are sticking with Hillary Clinton

Moe Lane:
...
... There are two things that we know about the next election, more or less: first, the Democrats [are] tanking among white voters. Second, black voters aren’t going to come out for a non-black Presidential candidate with the same intensity that they did for Barack Obama. Add those two together, and the end result looks verybad for the Democratic party.

And that’s why Hillary Clinton is still being propped up by the Democratic establishment: she’s the most prominent female politician that they have right now. I personally don’t think that she’s going to be able to recreate Barack Obama’s 2012 performance when it comes to white women voters, but former Secretary Clinton has a better shot at it than pretty much anybody else. …And that is, as they say, pretty much it.
The appeal to women voters is even narrower because it is mainly single women who are still voting for Democrats.  So they are looking for single women in blue states to keep them in power.  The numbers Lane is looking at are from a 2012 exit poll.  It was even worse for Democrats in the 2014 polls.
