To me Mulcair and Trudeau talking about a coalition is just really foolish, its more then likely going to spook the fringe voters in each party who don't want to see a Liberal party under the NDP or a NDP party under the Liberals.

All they're doing is giving ammo to the Conservative war room at this point.
I suspect you are right about Trudeau and the instant gratification desires that the party has to govern, and nothing less, is their downfall IMO. Canadians definitely have a "devil you know" tendency when it comes to elections and the incumbents tend to usually have that advantage unless the rug is completely pulled out from underneath them.

I think by constantly re-booting, the Liberals do more harm than good to their cause.

I agree with your second point as well. I am a cautious Liberal supporter at this moment, but if I thought a coalition with the NDP was likely, I would probably vote for the Green Party again.
