but in all seriousness; the reason that since 1992 Dems actually win popular elections (5 for 6 is the same record the GOP had from 1968-1988, when Dems were in the wilderness) is because Clinton showed that the wealthy can pay their fair share but not be "eaten" as some want to do. I think pragmatism is a wonderful thing; perfect should never be the enemy of good. I mean hey, maybe if we had a time machine, we could see what happens with a Sanders nomination (or a Biden one) where Dems can't raise much cash and get cleaned out by the Trump or Koch billions. But in the real world, not gonna happen.
