I'm having a real day of crisis. Here's the crux of it: News is coming out that a fairly substantial portion of the Democratic vote in both Ohio and Texas was Republican cross over for Hillary - i.e. the Rush Limbaugh edict to "keep the Dems from nominating a candidate" strategy. But I'm not angry at the Rethugs. I expect these things from them. Therefore, they don't disappoint me. However, the Democratic Party finally gets the most inspirational and transformational candidate since 1960 - one who has brought voters out in record numbers, converted some Republicans, drawn heavily from Independents, increased the youth vote by a staggering amount, has a 50-state campaign strategy, fund-raised the largest numbers in the history of Presidential politics - 90% of it from US, THE PEOPLE and not corporations or PACs or lobbyists, someone with a 21st century face, history and ideas - and do they rush to embrace him as our Ronald Reagan? No, they mutely stay in the shadows, allowing Hillary Clinton to throw US, THE PEOPLE, and the Democratic Party in general, under the bus of history.
