| Donald Trump victorious over the powers that wanted him to lose. |
So, the Republican National Convention is over and the Republicans have gone all in behind Donald Trump. Despite that everyone was armed; that there were protests where the New Black Panthers... er, I mean the Black Lives Matter, The Westboro Baptist Church, and KKK were throwing urine at each other; that there were Democrats there to protest the event; it went off without a hitch and for good or ill: Donald Trump is the Republican candidate.
The road to the Republican National Convention was an epic battle between some very strong candidates and they all dug in for the long haul. Early on Donald Trump was not expected to get very far. The media reported how "extreme"and "unrealistic" he was; most importantly they said he couldn't win in a national election. It became clear he was not the candidate that the Republican National Party really wanted. Throughout the race there were suspicions that the RNC would never allow him to win. However, the voters spoke and he won.
On the Democratic side; the Democrats had already decided at the top of the race who was going to win- voters be damned. We now know that the five women on the Democratic National had made their decision and the party at the national level was working overtime to stack the deck. Bernie Sanders worked very hard to be a viable candidate and Hillary didn't seem to be doing anything right. Time after time she was making mistakes; being an absentee candidate; fending off more controversy than her husband ever had to deal with on his worst day. Throughout the entire time of speaking before empty rooms, canceling events for lack of interest, and dodging investigations she never once looked like a woman who was in the greatest fight of her life; she just always looked bored. Time after time it would look like Bernie would overtake her in the polls; then she would suddenly shoot up for no reason. In the beginning she was handed a frightening number of super delegates to keep any serious competition from challenging her. Yet, Bernie was there whipping up crowds and rooms full of people (he didn't have to bus in people or rely on camera tricks) to get people energized. Like a Vegas bet; the game was rigged from the start. Bernie Sanders suspected this and was openly and not so openly challenging the National Party. He wanted Debbie Wasserman Schultz's head for screwing him over. He knew who ruined his chances and he wanted blood. The DNC negotiated his sudden surrender and Debbie got to keep her head; until the other shoe dropped.
Now Debbie is being booed off the stage and Ol' Bernie is being trotted out to keep the peace. Imagine spending all that time to energize your base only to have to the muzzle man for your Democratic overlords. That's what you get for being Democrat. At least on the Republican side Ted Cruz was allowed to go out one last time and shoot himself in the foot.
Witness the disaster that is soon-to-be former Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee:
