As more crazy comes down the pipe, I think more Dems will do the same.    Have a great friend who I have known for 25 years who's a very liberal D.  Years ago, I was trying to tell him about Obama and the DS.  He looked me straight in the eyes and asked me if I was a racist.  Left me speechless.    Anyway, these days, I believe his views have been shaken.  So there's always hope.
