(2,591 posts)Watching the debates and reading commentary, it is obvious that Republicans are in a mell of a hess right now. Trump has changed the dynamics by hijacking their party. And we have seen some things that are very strange and scary, heard things strange and scary from the mouths of politicians that I've never heard.
As for us, the Democrats, we have been changing over the past 16 years. When Obama ran in 2008, I was a Hillary supporter and was dismayed by all the vitriol here on DU. When he won the nomination, I voted for him and I've been pleased to have him as President. Now, Hillary and Bernie. I'm still supporting Hillary. I like her. I'm not going to try convincing anyone else here - you all have your own minds.
But the vitriol on the Bernie side seems worse than on the Hillary side. Maybe it is my take - after all, my candidate preference is being threatened. But that is how it seems to me.
We are all just going to have to evolve. Let's see how it plays out, and then talk about it.
It is going to be interesting folks.
