Excerpt:

That's how the election will work, in principle. The trouble is, at the moment it's impossible to see how we get from here to there in practice. By this, I don't mean that something will prevent the primaries or the election from taking place. Other than starting a little early (I know, it's getting worse and worse) this campaign is so far progressing smoothly, from a technical point of view. The problem isn't the procedures, but the nature of the candidates, each one of whom, not necessarily for obvious reasons, seems wholly unelectable.
