    If this is what they think they are fighting for, of course they are cynical.

    Once the author started to cite Terry McAuliffe as an example of what Democrats should be he basically countered his own thesis.

    He did admit McAuliffe is a mediocre half-wit. His point is more about wanting a partisan (even an incompetent) who believes the values he's representing rather than a spineless shill looking to score points... even if it means throwing your cause under the bus.

    Hey I can understand that like the Hillary wing you mainly care about gender and race and the upper to upper middle class. BTW Michael Moore (I know you hate) him quoted a black leader of Flint where Moore is from that they just gave up after Obama made his only low key mild mannered visit to Flint gave a breief speech of support and tried to assure them slightly by drinking a small glass of their water.

    As far as Bernie's success in convincing white working class voters to turn out for Hillary in the rust belt states it was a tough sell given her long history as NAFTA girl and thus outsourcing Queen. See http://www.theamericanmirror.com/bernie-bust-150-turn-sanders-ohio-stop-hillary/ Younger Bernie supporters were well of the DNC tricks to assure HIllary the nomination.
