I'm sure the institutional memory of the 'rat party as well as many of the bigwigs remember Chicago well. But the Clinton machine was not a factor then, and they may just be ambitious and ruthless enough to risk another meltdown in order to seize the nomination. After all, they have demonstrated in the past that they are perectly willing to cannibalize the party to satisfy their personal cravings fo power.
I was 17 then and felt much the same as you. The behavior of the defendants and media at the "Chicago 7" trial that followed gave me yet another feeling that our country had changed for the worse.
David Horowitz in his book "Radical Son" gave a good account of what people were behind those riots, and how they did it. It was no accident.
“democrats look for way to avoid convention rift.”
hopefully, the sovietism they’ve inflicted on the entire country will turn on them and rip their collective backsides.
Seat the white racists to the right. The black racists on the left. And all other racists in the middle. Should work out fine. Bring your own firehose.
I heard it this way.
The Dem Primary is a car wreck.

No, it’s a train wreck into a car wreck, with a baby on the roof.
Former Vice President Al Gore
There’s the answer front and center, now the problem is how to get Gore the nomination without looking like a racist or a chauvinist. I have been saying for months that Gore will be the dem candidate.
For all his denials he’s been running and he wants the nomination. All they gotta do is beg him...for the “sake” of the party.
No good came of that event.
