2. Forget the conspiracy speculations, there is a very obvious terrible problem

that is clearly evident. And it is that the NY State Dem Party still thinks closed primaries and surreptitiously purged voter lists are necessary in order to advance the careers of politicians.

Dem politics in many, perhaps most places in this country has the same problem that health care has long had.

Dem politics serves politicians. The consequence for governance is similar to the consequences for health-care when the medical industry acts to serve itself first. We don't get patient-oriented medicine and we sure as hell don't get voter oriented politics.

Maybe more than any previous cycle we've seen and communicated about the dark side of dem politics.

It took almost 2 decades for voter awareness to catch up with reality in anything approaching a majority.

But it finally has.

It's got all the right sort of support to make him even a Bigger CELEBRITY. He CAN'T BE FIRED!!!

He could shoot co-workers in the company parking lots and no one would do anything to him
