The best article I've seen on the Democratic Primary

I apologize in advance for this crappy excuse for a diary, but I'm experiencing a repetitive motion-induced pain up and down my arm and really shouldn't be on a keyboard today!

However, I saw a link to this article on Twitter. It's about 3 weeks old. It's the clearest analysis of the election I've seen yet, and I wanted to draw folks' attention to it.

Here it is. I hope it's useful to you guys. The author is clear-headed and honest.

Cheating is the only way

hrc can win. We've seen it since Arizona and who knows if it happened prior to AZ, but it has continued to Nevada on Saturday. The Clintons are cheats - period. We knew Bill was - now we know hrc is, as well. No wonder she stays with him. They are two peas in their proverbial pod.

The thing is

Regardless of the causes of the fraud and suppression, we're not going to gain anything by continually playing the victim, however legitimately we might play the role. And the bigger story gets lost because of our overplay of that story: Bernie is crushing worth voters who have cast their ballots over the last two months. AZ and NY went into the Hillary win column as much because of the early voters who failed to give him a chance as because of suppression efforts.

We are a country that is simultaneously fascinated by CT and exhausted by it. We don't even need to engage in scandals to communicate that the truly more popular candidate is not the one who is the beneficiary of all the shenanigans.
