As the party prepares to convene in the birthplace of democracy, it faces dangers from within and without that threaten to destroy its chances to govern at a time of uncertainty, upheaval and unpredictability.
The nation’s attention has just been focused on four days of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, capped by a speech in which Donald Trump told us we were unsafe and could only be saved by a strong leader unbound by political correctness, unafraid to confront the world.
Democrats have already begun focusing on the excesses of that convention but they risk missing the very important point: People are angry. People are fearful. There is a stifling political correctness in the country. Those feelings are real, and so are their causes. And the party that will win is the party that will best address them.
Trump repeated his longtime contention that the American system is rigged, that special interests run the nation’s policy for their benefit, ignoring the concerns of everyday people to enrich the elites. (And, Trump added, only he — an elite by any definition — could save America.)
But Democrats knew this already, having been told by Bernie Sanders, whose supporters are headed to Philadelphia with deep reservations about Hillary Clinton, the presumptive nominee. Ted Cruz dominated an entire day’s headlines in Cleveland with a non-endorsement speech that suggested Trump was unsuited to the mantle of conservative Republican leadership. Sanders has done the opposite and endorsed his former rival.
But Sanders’ liberal supporters are more skeptical of Clinton’s status as an establishment insider than Cruz’s ever were about Trump’s lack of true conservatism, and they’re even more likely to rebel when told it’s time to rally ’round the nominee because the alternative is so much worse.

Athens, not Philadelphia, is the birthplace of democracy; and what was born in Philadelphia was a republic.
First off, Philly is the birthplace of The Republic, the American Constitutional Republic. Democracy was born in Greece, and that didn’t work out so well for them.
It sounded like the author was a democRAT supporter so I did not expect him to be educated or intelligent.
