When This Blows Over

Mike Littwin frames the larger issue for the
Democratic Party
If many Democrats love Bernie and love Bernie’s passion but
fear that Bernie can’t win, and if they don’t love Hillary and if
Hillary is faced with a long slog against a message candidate
and winds up too damaged to win, where does that leave them
— other than with a cleared-for-Hillary field that doesn’t
provide any alternatives? No Biden. No Warren. No time for a
1968-style Bobby Kennedy intervention. Even Martin O’Malley
has dropped out.
Having put all of their eggs in one basket that best reflects the
1990s as opposed to 2016, where does that leave Democratic
voters?
I have no problem with whatever damage the demographic
supporting Bernie Sanders wants to inflict on Hillary
Clinton. She's a lousy choice made by a group of party insiders
who have utterly no use for the voters in any age group.
Sanders' supporters are welcome to cripple her any way they
see fit. But, if people are increasingly fed up with the LOTE-
VOTE [lesser of 2 evils] option, the alternative is to stay home,
and I genuinely can't blame people for making that choice;
particularly, voters under 40.
