20. The way I see it, we're trapped in over-lapping cults of personality

The extent to which there was a cult-like devotion to Nancy Pelosi is something I only became aware of recently, posters on this very site have said there is no point winning control of the house without her, that sounds like something a suicidal ex-boyfriend would say.

But as I see it we ultimately have people who are trapped in idol worship of Clinton, Sanders, Pelosi and Obama.

Admiration of any or all of those figures is just fine, but none of them can deliver us electoral victory.

Obama has a role to play, but neither he and certainly not Hillary Clinton can be our public standard bearers.
