So Many Democrats. Good.

The huge number of Democrats running for the primary is happening because Democrats know that anyone who runs against Trump will probably win, and that this is any given Democrat's biggest, easiest chance to win the White House. The large number of candidates is not a sign of fragmentation within the Democratic party. It's a sign of Trump's weakness--the current President doesn't have the power to stand up against even the weakest Democratic opponent.

A dozen-odd people running for the Democratic nomination is a good thing--the party has many candidates and many points of view to choose from. Eventually, the candidates will be whittled down to one, and the party will unite behind him or her and PUSH. The pundits who write about the "fracturing" of the Democratic party are either foolish and uninformed, or are writing articles trying to instill anger or fear, which generates clicks. The primary process is moving along nicely, thanks, and it's steamrolling toward Trump.
