One would think that, after seven glorious years of administration of Barack Obama, that everything would be copacetic. Happy days are here again and all that, right? So how do you explain this split screen image from the Star Tribune?

Both Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton were in the Twin Cities yesterday, shaking the money tree and dispensing bile from 55-gallon drums. They were here for a fundraiser that carries the name of the eternally sunny Hubert Humphrey, who was known far and wide as the Happy Warrior. These people are not exactly happy warriors, are they? It's frankly bizarre that the party of Hope and Change now presents these two dyspeptic fugitives from Madame Tussauds as their prospective standard bearers.
Considering that these two seasoned citizens are career politicians, and all they see around themselves is failure and injustice, doesn't there seem to be a disconnect between their promises and their demonstrated ability to ameliorate social ills? I suppose it's impertinent to ask.

one of them will be president, or first runner up... whats that say about our nation?
Nothing good, Gino.
We usually say we get the government we deserve. I cannot imagine us deserving either one of this pair.
I like the joke about the tattoo shop (or something) that had a Bernie Sanders special: free tattoo, $500 after tax.
And yes, that anyone would consider either of these two says many things about our nation, none of them printable on a family blog or newspaper. As Mencken (?) said, nobody ever went broke by underestimating the intelligence of the American people.
