He makes a brilliant, funny synopsis of what we are in store for leading up to the convention:
The Democratic primary season seems to have dwindled down into a psycho remake of Driving Miss Daisy. The fading matriarch Mizz Hill’ry (Jessica Tandy) doesn’t want to give up the keys to the Democratic-party vehicle but the dignified black chauffeur Hokey (Morgan Freeman) insists it’ll be a much smoother ride with him in the driver’s seat, full of gear change you can believe in, etc. Yet, just as he thinks the old biddy’s resigned to a nomination as Best Supporting Actress, the backseat driver plunges her hat pin into his spine, wrests the wheel away and lurches across the median.
Will it really come down to racial guilt versus gender guilt?

As the Democrats thrive on guilt and self-flagellation, they must be tying themselves into knots that would make a shibari nut go mad trying to figure out who to feel guiltier over.
Fortunately in November the bulk of the voters don't buy into the guilt thing and it won't work.
What's a shibari nut?
Guilt is a powerful thing. I've see people do all kinds of irrational things because of guilt.
Guilt? Or its inverse, the desire to participate in "making history?"
If these are different motivations, I think the latter is stronger.
