It's never going to end.

In the words of MLK - they are in it for longevity and distance.

In the words of 1Strongblackman - Sorry to harsh your giddy.

I'm not going to be ignored, Dan. (Sorry, recently saw Fatal Attraction.) But really, it's not going to stop.

Most people will tell you that by the end of July of next year, this will be done with.

Some will still yell and scream but most of us will accept the nominee and do what they can to elect that nominee. If it's any consolation, out of Sanders, Clinton and O'Malley, whichever of the two do NOT get the nomination, the other two will work like hell to get the nominee elected, even if some of their supporters do not share the sentiment (the Gandhi syndrome, etc.).

Our grandparents didn't have the internet, so their primaries weren't so vicious. You just voted for who you liked. Average voters didn't have two years of brutal infighting to endure before voting in the primary.

It feels more like the fucking Hunger Games than an election :/

BTW, I heard this morning that the HRC camp is floating the name, "Tim Kane", as V.P. pick ... I think it's a mistake, with the better pick being Castro ...

But maybe, the consideration is ... with a lot of merit ... a woman and Brown, would be a bridge too far, in this post-identity political day.
