I don't buy it, except accepting some of the truth that it was never that pure - it wasn't until Gingrich that I recall the right crazies accepted and enjoying shitting their own nest whatever the cost, masochistically. More recently when they started all running the car into a wall and thinking how fun, say between 2000 and Tea Party.

Ceremonies like that make clear the danger we news & politics junkies are misintepreting what's really going on in our culture while we focus on bizzarro Trump sub-culture 24/7. This country has not changed that much from the trajectory it's been on since Clinton/Gore was elected. It's still going in the same direction, in many cases a bit too rapidly, so there's just this dying bunch of old coots pulling on its coattails for a while. We all get this sense of panic when we focus on them so much, but it's not reality.

You know what, looking at it this way, big picture, even the damage done by Trump as to ye olde American exceptionalist reputation, it's probably not that bad in the end. Is more truthful for all the rest of the world to realize: we're nuts, we're a crazy, lively country! That they should always read their De Tocqueville before dealing with us.

Huffpost chose today for a top story metoo hit job on Clinton even as he was commemorating Aretha. Sometimes looking around these ceremonies, helps to see who our real friends are. Also why I disagree with the superdelegates move so badly - we need stewards, stalwarts, icons. The fair weather friends are often more a burden than blessing.

and thank you for that! Many
