Going to the website and reading the entire article also reveals the marked
lack of cohesiveness among the presidential candidates the Democrats are
running for nomination. That internecine warfare cannot bode well for the
party come election time. Perhaps one of the weakest areas of the Democrats
is their inability to effectively evaluate their own shortcomings. And, of
course, many voters still see one of the cardinal sins of the Democrats is
allowing their party to be hijacked and held hostage by the Leftwing,
particularly the radical Left. Until they find and implement an effective
solution, they can expect to see their support continue to erode. KM
