My continued hope is that the GOP gets enough big guns behind McMullin. Denouncing Trump does absolutely nothing.

I think the difference there is the GOP actually has several decent candidates who got pushed aside in the Trump fervor. There's a half dozen people who could do fairly well in a general election against Hillary.

The Democrats — mostly by design — had a very short list after Clinton. Maybe a couple governors and Biden, but not really anyone who got supported by the party. It was bad enough Bernie Sanders actually had a pretty decent run. In a normal election cycle, he would have been eliminated quickly, but the Dems didn't want any legitimate threat to Hillary.
