Exactly! This, among other reasons, is why I'm not a Democrat. They forget who their adversaries are and fight among themselves -- at least to the extent that Democrats actually fight. And that's my second point of disagreement. The Republicans came to the fight armed with every weapon they can muster, but the Democrats bring Robert's Rules of Order. Really?
So far. I've seen no evidence that the Democrats want to win at more than an intellectual level. Bernie may be the sole exception. If it's not Bernie, then whoever gets the nod had better take lessons fast.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
