And that is because there was a lot of internal rancor going on in 2012 (that blew up DU as well) about the ACA and "why no Public Option?", "TPP", "Chained CPI", "Keystone Pipeline", "Cat Food Commission", and other crap.

We need to get back to the same level of "public enthusiasm" as that seen in 2008 (or at least similar to what emerged once the nominating process was finalized, which itself was full of drama).
