Mr McGrath the selection of Mrs Clinton was nothing to do with stupidity, The Democratic Party and the US political establishment actively work against the nomination of Mr Sanders, I agree with you that he would probably have won the election, but that frightened the establishment even more than the possibility of a Donal-John victory!

I am sure that they were well aware that A Trump Presidency could be much more easily undermined than that of a popular "socialist".

The real enemy is not Mr Sanders or DJ, but the unholy alliance of Republicans and Democrats to dominate the US political system.
The same old story, "Good cop, Bad cop" divide and conquer.

The West needs to re-evaluate its position and provide a new vision for the future......Hint, it will contain very little of the "liberal" smoke and mirrors which have brought us to this pass.
