In what was supposed to be a cake walk for Clinton, she squeaks out a win in the heavily unionized Nev Caucus

Now that Sanders nearly matched Clinton's #'s, in what was supposed to be a walk in the park for her, smelling the the possibility, will Sanders pull out the integrity card?

  If Sanders does only a little better than Clinton in winning delegates, Clinton wins because she has most of the super delegates locked in.

    The problem with winning this way is that it makes the Democratic party look as if they don't care about the voice of the people.

Why don't we ever ask why our parties are as durable as they are?

Both over 150 years old, and the elder of the two is appealing to our youth with retirement age candidates?

How is it so tough for new parties?

If the two parties were to vanish in a puff of sulfurous smoke could we not run this same quality of government without them?

They are not disappearing, unfortunately.

If they did we might end up with corporate  domination like NASCAR racing teams, unless we rewrote the Constitution to prevent it, being as the asshole Supremes declared that corporations are people and money is speech.

 We would be far better off with multiple parties like Canada, as that would encourage cooperation rather than polarization. Proportional representation would also be a step for in the right direction.

  Don't you know that Nascar fans feel well served by corporate team sponsors?

  There are really some who buy no detergent than Tide.

If spaceships wore such livery I would adjust my purchases  accordingly.
