Why, because PACs and Super-PACs now have a single candidate to smear for a two year period if they wanted to.
Barack Obama didnt have a primary opponent in 2012

Presidents (both Democrat and Republican) have around a 50-50 chance of having a primary opponent. About half run uncontested, half have a primary. Most times when an incumbent have a primary opponent, they lose in the election. H.W. Bush had an opponent and lost so did Taft in 1912 in Theodore Roosevelt. W. Bush, Clinton and Obama all didn't but won.
The difference here is that Obama had a track record and he only lost 5 million votes and two states. Hilary doesn't really have a recent track record as she left office in 2012 after the stirring of Benghazi. Sure she has the woman vote, BUT she doesn't have a recent track record. It's like Nixon in 1968, the nation was rioting (race riots after MLK's death, anti-war protests and the Chicago DNC) to give him a chance to win the white house.
What will happen in 2016 when the Republican party loses another Presidential election? They have disdain for Blacks, pro-choice, gays, Muslims, Hispanics, the poor, Atheist, Liberals, environmentalist, and every country other than Israel. Well, they use to hate France and Russia until they found an angle to use to bash Obama with. They do not realize that there's just not enough Southern White Christians men, Military, or law enforcement in this country for them to even have the slightest chance of winning. They're also at an extreme disadvantage when it comes to the electoral college.
Will they become even more unhinged when the next Democrat takes office, or do you believe that the fact that because our current president is a Liberal Black guy with a Muslim sounding name has a lot to do with it?
What will happen in 2020 when the Democrats lose another election?
