And that's all you have left. Who is complaining? You are. Big talk of anointment out of the loser of the last Democratic nomination process. The folks who claimed to 'know' in 2007 were saying it was Hillary vs Rudy, that's what they thought was in the cards. Neither won their nominations.
Folks who claim to know the future in politics are inherently laughable.
