Another episode or two like the Skip Gates affair, a jobless recovery or worse and general turmoil in domestic and foreign affairs could do the trick. Kennedy challenged Carter in 1980. The Chicago Way could be completely discredited by then.
Carter was not a party insider. Kennedy was. They were enough afraid of losing that Teddy was drafted to do his duty to the Party.
This time it is different. zerO brought in the youth, the blacks and they had the white guilt card to play. Just who would go against that? Even Hillary may no longer have the connections in todays Democrat party.
I think they are going to go totally totalitarian on anyone who disagrees with zerO. As it is, dissent now equals racism and threats against zerO’s life.
There is a reason the party faithful are acting like goons and thugs, besides the fact that they are. They have been told that the mob, the real Mob, has their back. Keep the faith and there will be rewards, even if they lose. Dissent and you will never be able to live comfortably in America, again.
