7. The only real options
Dems have to win in November are to have either a unity ticket or a brokered convention with a third candidate nominee IMHO. Last I checked the polls showed something like nearly 30% of Hillary supporters would not vote for Obama and nearly 20% of Obama supporters would not vote for Hillary. That is the making of an a$$ kicking with Dems on the losing end. I don't like either of the remaining candidates and I do not believe that either can win without the other on the ticket. Even then I'm not so sure.

If Dems get beat in November it will be because of their own undoing. Following this primary season is something like watching a violent and deadly accident as it happens. Everything seems to move in slow motion. Fascinating and horrifying at the same time. And a lot of people are gonna get hurt. Hillary and Obama supporters are so personally invested in the outcome that they have ignored the warning signs. Nothing like watching a good old fashioned fight on the train tracks with a train quickly approaching and the fighters completely ignorant of its presence.

Yeah, we need to come together for party unity.
