The daily trove of evidence coming from Wikileaks and other
sources make it abundantly clear that the DNC, the Hillary campaign and the
mainstream media colluded to steal the Democratic primary from Bernie Sanders.
Without missing a beat, the media, including some left-leaning outlets, is
portraying Bernie supporters at the Democratic convention as spoiled brats who
can’t let go of their Quixotic dream, instead of the patriots they are fighting
for the soul of the Democratic Party.
Hillary supporters, you can’t have it both ways. You can’t
claim to believe in the democratic process and fair elections and then stand
behind a candidate who condoned dirty tricks, under-the-table support from the
establishment and who accepted money from anyone with an open checkbook. Democrats
love to tsk tsk shady Republican tactics that circumvent the democratic
process, but refuse to look in the mirror when one of their own commits the
same sins.
The irony of ironies of course, is that polls consistently showed
that Sanders had the better chance of beating Trump in the general election
than did Clinton. So the Democratic establishment, in its myopic quest to
ordain the elite-approved candidate, may have cut off its nose to spite its
face.
Believe me, the last thing in the world I want to see is
Donald Trump taking the Presidential oath of office next January, but if that
happens, the Democratic establishment will have only itself to blame. When you
play in the same muck and mire as Republicans, you’re not any less dirty
because you support a different candidate, and perhaps you’re even a bit more
so after decades of claiming the moral high ground.
