Dropping candidates is getting to be a habit — and it’s not a sign of strength

It’s beginning to be a habit. It, in this case, is the messy business of center-left political jettisoning one leader suddenly deemed unelectable and, without resort to the usual rules or democratic procedure, designating a replacement.
