don't, their party will collapse.

The ultimate test for the Democrats aka; party of the people, will be when they have an overwhelming majority of the House, Senate and White House.

There will be no excuses then, no fig leafs, should they fail to live up to their highest calling at that point, the Democratic Party will undergo a major splinter, possibly in to two.

I believe the ultimate result considering current dynamics is a move to the left by both parties, it's either that or the nation is headed for disaster, and I have faith in the American People that it will be the former.
