"Establishment" Candidate Hillary Clinton Looking Awfully Good Right About Now [View all]

Compared to the non-establishment, off-the-rails Trump candidacy and RNC convention.

We would be in a precarious situation if we were running an über-left candidate this year. The media would do their false equivalency game ("which extremeist do you like?&quot , reducing everything to a question of how far from the norm the country wished to go. As Rs are seen unjustly as the least-radical party, Ds would end up being the communists in the race, a losing characterization for sure.

It will be nice to see how NORMAL political parties behave themselves at next week's D convention. I believe the electorate will respond very positively.
