The Clintons have been a cancer on the body of the progressive movement since they came to Washington. It's time to cut out the rot.Walter F.

If he'd called a spade a spade earlier on instead of pandering to her with the "we don't give a damn about the emails" kind of softball approach the whole scenario would likely have been quite different today.<br />Our experience from the onset was the Democratic Party old guard had thoroughly infiltrated the Sanders organization and was quite active reining in his 'revolution', keeping the burn well under control lest it actually spread. Folks seemed to be placated enough with the myth Sanders is a high road kind of guy and won't go negative on Hillary. Fair enough at the time, however, he sure proved capable of going negative against Trump. Which raises a question for a lot of progressives who find Clinton equally repulsive, for what reason did Sanders really hold back on Hillary? Other than his 'sheepdogging', it is hard to explain.<br />Upshot is, for many folks out there this whole campaign is one massive charade and voting a futile exercise. The Democratic turnout was down simply because a whole lot of folks truly believe that there was no one to vote for, so they stayed home. It appears the Democrats still haven't gotten the message, as such they may soon be going the way of the Whigs. <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
