Democratic Party leaders, as you say, really need to lighten up. If they think for two seconds that either Hillary OR Barack are suffering by this primary they are crazy.

(1) They are campaigning because they believe in a policy of change.
(2) Their respective campaigns are 100% representative of the will of the people they command.
(3) Not ONE campaign worker or supporter will be encouraged even remotely to support the other candidate when the perception is pressure from the top. The top totally misses their own importance in this election. And if THEY don't start listening to the people it may very well be themselves who are left out in the cold.
(4) Talking heads sound the drum beat. But who's? The Party Elders.
(5) If Hillary is forced out, so is Florida and Michigan. Not exactly the smartest thing these elders would have chosen.
(6) If Barack is forced out, so is the entire black vote. Not for the general. But for YEARS.

I could keep going. But if there is a time for unity, it is the unity of an honest primary which stands fully behind the standard procedures. And not sniping over the shoulders of pre-approved candidates. Super delegates are doing their damned best at proving that they and their role is obsolete.

The sniping is sickening and the trolls are playing off it. I hope no one really plans on cutting off one arm because it doen't look as good as the other.
