'Hillary will never survive the Trump onslaught .... the shitstorm coming from Trump"

[4nic8em]

39. Regarding Salon:

There is a lady by the name of Joan Walsh (from Salon) who regularly appears on Rachael's show with MSNBC as a panel guest. I have absolutely enjoyed her fair contribution of all things DEMOCRATIC over the years. I have noticed that lately (past couple months) that she has shown an obvious preference to Hillary regarding our primary (good or bad makes no difference for this post). I'm only sharing this to present the fact that you cannot dismiss SALON broadly without acknowledging that she is also included in such a generic and sweeping indictment. (Salon and Joan as an example only)

This thread is a wonderful example of what gets covered over by the broad brush approach. Our primary is full of nuance, divisiveness, conflicting opinion and preference...as well it should be. I've been actively supporting Democrats since the 70's.

Just to switch gears, I am particularly troubled (and very worried) with this whole primary season up til now. BOTH Dem primary candidates, albeit important for the nomination, right now is a secondary concern (to me) as it relates to the GE. We will have a nominee.

Here is my concern. Has anyone taken notice of individual primary/caucus turnout numbers for DEM versus GOP? Our party is getting our collective asses kicked by a considerably larger GOP turnout in almost every individual state so far. Don't believe me? Check out the numbers for yourself...please. I will not include the links I've used...as I have no desire to be caught in candidate crossfire.

I submit this larger repub turnout is mostly because of the intense visceral and unrestrained hatred of all things Obama. It has been this way from the beginning of Obama's 1st term and will continue until the end of his 2nd term. No big surprise huh?...

That being said, I feel that Trump embodies everything I disdain, but what truly scares the hell out of me is the possibility that Ted Cruz could be the one who "rescues" the GOP from Trump...brokered convention or not.

So lets keeping pissing on each other and continue to assume we've got the GE in the bag (sarcasm). I personally do not want a repeat of the Bush legacy and absolutely loathe the idea that it could turn out worse. I remember vividly how we all could not believe Bush was not only elected, but re-elected for a 2nd term. I hope we don't have to apologize for America to the rest of the world...again.

Peace
