Time for Dems to talk about unity, too

Posted May 19, 2016 12:01 am

All the news is about party unity in the GOP. It's time for the Democrats to start thinking about uniting their own party to guarantee Trump doesn't get to the White House.

Up until the New York Primaries, Sanders and Clinton had pretty respectful and civil campaigns without scurrilous personal attacks. Certainly they have different views on many issues but both understand how politics works. Winning isn't an "All or None" proposition like it is in Trump's World. You win and lose in degrees as differences are modulated, compromised and negotiated.

Uniting the Democrats with a Clinton/Sanders (Or Sanders/Clinton) ticket can create a crushing juggernaut to face Trump. Now is not the time to worry about who hears "Hail to the Chief "when he or she walks into the room. It's time to make sure we don't have "TRUMP" in large silver letters over the South Portico of the White House.
