Because the Democratic Party is a righteous organization with a strong tradition of populism, of equal justice, of voting rights, of strong working families and a strong middle class.

"They" believe in Third Way Clintonism, and it is a cult of personality. It is classist in nature. When Hillary supporters are swooning over her "elegance" and her "coif" and her "pumps" the translation is a cult of false glamour. And I have to say that it is as mystical as the swooning over George W. Bush was by those in his party.
