I think one of the biggest fears (for the party) after the 2008 Democratic primary was that Democrats would be worn from the primary debates and not show up for the general election. Maybe the party feels it's better to let Hillary take the nomination instead of making a big fight that draws out candidates' worst qualities.

Since that's how it happened in 2012 when it seemed as if every eligible Republican was running, I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again next year.
