When Hillary first announced her candidacy, the Democrat party apparatus nearly went ballistic with excitement. The first woman president of the United States will be a Democrat! In fact, the party was so gaga over the “first woman” prospect, that no one bothered to ask: “Is she the right woman? Can she win?” If they had asked, cooler heads might have prevailed and the party might have waited to see if other, less tainted, women might come forward. The party could have done more vetting but they did not. The Democrat party shut the door, so to speak, by making it known that “she is our gal”, and woe to anyone who might dare challenge her. When Sanders realized what was happening, that the Democrats were putting up a middle-of-the-road, more-of-the-same candidate who represented the absence of change at a time when the country badly needed not only change, but radical change, he jumped in. The party responded with a strategy to defeat Sanders chances right out of the box. They scheduled the early primaries in states known to favor Clinton heavily, to build an early lead so large that no one, not even Bernie, would have a chance. But something unexpected happened along the way. Sanders’ support soared while Clinton’s started inexorably to shrink. In other words, Americans knew Clinton even if the Democrat party did not. Now the party hierarchy is pulling out all the stops, tying up as many delegates and super delegates as possible in a desperate attempt to get Sanders out before he builds up any more momentum. I One day I will be in the and return labelf they succeed, they will have destroyed our last best hope.
