I must say, when I first heard him sing the praises of Hillary - my heart sank. But I have come to realize just how strict the party line MUST be towed to maintain your stature. I might even go so far as to concede that some of that blind allegiance is OK - to a point. When it gets to where one has to DELIBERATLY ignore the intensifying drone, then you start to show your true colors - all ugly hues to be sure. We need leadership - not subservience and predestined appointment.
