11. I am really concerned about what this party is going to look like
once this primary is settled...oh, I haven't forgotten any of what's happened, but I always try to keep one thought in mind, that thought being....how anything that sounds to good to be true, usually is...I became sorely disillusioned last election season...and it hasn't worn off quite yet...

Sad to say, I think we could take a lesson or two from the Republicans...when one of them gets into any kind of trouble....they don't eat their own, they gather round to protect and deal with whatever the situation is....eventually, sometimes quickly, the one/s involved, are replaced and quietly disappear into the background....how many times in the last 8 years have they had a scandal serious enough for us to have brought them down, yet we haven't been able to do it...because they stand up for one another, and close ranks when things get tough...they also KNOW they can divide us, so that's exactly what they set out to do, and it always works...you'd think we'd learn..

It should be obvious, that I am seriously conflicted...I don't trust what I am witnessing, and I feel something is wrong....I wonder if we could be in for some big surprises yet...in the meantime, perhaps we shouldn't cut our noses off to spite our face...maybe it would be better to allow this to run it's course, while trying NOT to eat our own...wb
