I mentioned in another thread that the Dems are in a state of panic, and compelled by hate and rage.  That doesn't leave any room for rational thought.  Over the course of the last couple years, they've been pushed into this corner, and blind rage is causing them to expose themselves for who they really are.    You don't have to be smart to be corrupt, but you do have to be corrupt to reach a high rank in the Dem party.
