Journalistic veracity hits new lows

Now, I am going to eschew making personal comments on the matter (you can probably guess what they are, anyway....) and instead focus on this "journalist's" logic - or, in this case, conspicuous lack thereof.

You want to make political arguments for why Hillary should stay in the race? Fine. I don't envy you that position! But for Chrissakes, try to use logic that, you know, makes sense. When the esteemed Ms. Churchwell attempts to justify the continued presence of Madame Clinton in the Democratic nomination race....here is the brilliant logic she uses (bold emphasis my own):

"Yes, the general election is different from the primaries. But far from being an especially protracted Democratic primary, this one is right on historical track. June is actually the magic month, in which the Democratic nomination was clinched in 1992 by Bill Clinton; in 1988 by Dukakis (Jesse Jackson didn't withdraw until June); in 1984 by Mondale (who didn't officially gain the nomination until the convention in July); in 1976 by Carter; and in 1972, the first year in which the present primary system operated, by McGovern."

Whoa. Deep breath. Let's look at the "facts" this brilliant woman calls upon to justify Hillary's ongoing existence...er, I mean, presence in the race. Historical precedent - fine. But consider the outcomes. Of the 5 candidates she mentioned, who received their nominations in June...

Dukakis got his ass handed to him in the general election.
Mondale could barely win a single state.
McGovern didn't win either.
Carter won for one term and was so ineffectual that he was a lame duck before his second year in office.
And Mr. Clinton almost got impeached, and brought the nation to its knees with his questionable conduct in the Oval Office, and subsequent (let's face it) perjury about said conduct.

So basically.....Sarah, your logic sucks. If you want a candidate that will do shittily in the general election, and if they do get elected, manage to fuck it up royally - yeah stay in the race, Hillary! (This is per her logic, mind you. I have my own logic on the topic...but that is neither here nor there!!!)

I hate poorly argued, poorly researched polemics - especially ones that appear in so-called reputable newsmagazines. What the hella?
