28. They Serve A Quite Valuable Purpose. In Fact, This Recent Obama Thing Proves It.
What if this thing continues to grow? What if it was a mortal wound? What if polls showed that he started losing a ton of support and was weakened, and there was reason to believe there'd be no way for him to win in the GE? What if he still won enough of the votes that Hillary still couldn't overcome the pledged gap and turned out to be the nominee anyway? Would it be the best thing for our party to have a mortally wounded and almost certainly unelectable candidate starting off the GE right out of the gate? Nahhhh, cause that would be really, really, stupid.

But that's why SD's are there to begin with. To PROTECT our interests and help to ensure that we send the right candidate to the GE. Their role is quite important. They don't need to be called upon often, but if a situation arises when they need to be, we'll be quite thankful they're there.
