It is pretty harsh to turn your back on a member of your party during a national broadcast, on what has to be a very painful night, just because he is no longer useful. What a despicable, transparent effort to save the Democratic party's image. On the other hand, it is nice to see a Democrat evince such blatant, self-serving blind party devotion, cynicism, and personal piling on, which hopefully won't be lost on moderates.
