We All Know Where D'Nile River Leads

Happy work week Friends,

The big day has arrived. This evening, the first votes will be cast in the 2016 presidential election cycle. I'll be blogging about the results of the Iowa Caucuses tomorrow morning.

This morning, I wanted to blog about something that struck me as a real blind spot in mainstream Democratic Party women, which could ultimately cost their party dearly.

All for one and one for all. We're going down with the Hillary ship!

The leadership wants a woman president so badly, they're completely blind to Hillary Clinton's serious legal problems heading into what portends to be a very vicious presidential election.

By continually brushing off Hillary's headaches, a huge bloc of her supporters and portion of the blue party--middle aged women--have apparently tricked themselves into believing they can make them go away.

It's like repeating a big lie over and over so many times that the lie becomes the truth.

These women; elected officials, celebrities, professionals, et al., don't know what to do about their dream candidate having problems as deep as her experience is extensive. So instead of addressing them by shifting to a viable candidate, they just ignore them.

Hillary's small lead in the polls of yesterday has dissolved overnight, and now Bernie Sanders is ahead with momentum. Even if Sanders doesn't take Iowa, he'll be close. And he came out of nowhere to give the anointed successor to Barack Obama a genuine race.

This is happening not just because of Bernie Sanders' positive message, Hillary's negatives play a significant roll.

Here's a question these mainstream Dems need to ask themselves: what happens if Hillary is nominated and then criminally indicted?

Even if Mrs.Clinton's criminal problems don't ever get this far, they would cast a giant shadow over her administration. The country does not need to live through her taint at such a critical time in history--the literal brink of World War III.

Go on smiling as if everything was just lah-di-dah you bright and shiny Democratic women, and keep on supporting your girl. Pretend like there are no other female up-and-comers, and this is your last best chance for a woman chief exec.

Reminds me of the guy who kept on fiddling while his empire burned.
