The problem that The Democratic party has is a rigged election process that make it real hard to replace Hillary as there candidate. with Hillary controlling over 250 super delegates it is hard for them to choose some one else. The Modern Democratic party is More akin to communists on selection of a presidential candidate.

True on all counts.

The Dems just HATE free and fair elections.

Even within their own coven.

Well, it's been in the grip of Communists since the "reforms" of 1971 were rigged to shut out the old Dem bosses and the "Defense Democrats", guys like Sen. Henry "Scoop" Jackson of Washington State, Sam Nunn of Georgia, and all the old-line "Solid South" Democrats who voted against Lyndon Johnson's Civil Rights Act of 1965.

But the grouping around the Clintons stinks more of late Republican Roman politics and its personality cults and family cults and hero cults.

For example, in the House of the Julio-Claudians, just in the first two or three generations of the Empire, there was a cult (not "popular" but deliberately fostered, with official status) of Octavian Augustus, another of his wife, Livia Augusta, yet another of Agrippina the Elder (daughter of Augustus's intimate and best general Agrippa, who presented a public model of probity and chastity).

These public personae were not projected for votes, but for public approval and therefore were spurious to some degree.

But the point is that Bill and Hillary Clinton do the same thing (the "smartest woman lawyer in America" shtick for her, the pizza-scarfing, issues wonk for him) and for the same reason the Caesars and the Peron family did: to connect with the people, to garner public support, and to consolidate power against competing constellations of political support in a non-democratic, post-republican political environment.
