    I mean sure, if no one actually wants to run, that’s fine. What needs to end is the immolation of anyone’s career that dares to run against an incumbent. Primarying an incumbent is career suicide in the Democratic party. You better hope you win, because if you don’t pull off a miracle, you will be thrown out of the party. Running against incumbents and putting them through their laces should be encouraged. We want a party that is a political survivor of the fittest.
