Jackie Robinson was the pick because Branch thought he could handle it and NOT fight back personally, and Jackie was elected to the hall of fame for his lifetime achievements that started on day one.
Instant gratification,burnit down mob with torches style is not what is needed.
Longterm eye on the prize, with battles lost to win the war, is what is needed.
The war will be won, but it may take years til it happens.
Hindsight shows the democratic party would have remained office holders since LBJ had there not been infighting, and had the strongest candidates (like Hillary in 2016) been picked.
There is NOT one election that could not have been won starting with Adlai over the horrible, terrible Eisenhower, who led us on a wrongway path later immitated by Reagan who was like a clone of Ike.(yet who was beloved by some democrtic party people, and others who were not at the time like a certain senior senator from Mass).
Remaining calm and cool and collected like President Obama and having his back and marching FORWARD is the way to go.
