The Democrats run a culture of revenge and retaliation. If one candidate opposes another for a seat of power, that candidate will be punished if he loses. Thus they don’t run if they are not sure to win. This lets whoever appears to be in control stay in control, whether or not they have any genuine support at all.
True that. In the Primaries, Democrats treat other Democrats like they always treat Republicans in elections. Remember reading about Obama and his first try at a House seat? One of his attempts had him trashing Bobby Rush, AND looking into Rush’s personal life. He was told to step away from Leftist icon Bobby Rush.
