You may not like this op ed but it is worthy of a read no matter what side of the aisle you are on...

"With all the media focus on Donald Trump’s antics and the anxiety over the upcoming Republican primary debate, the mainstream media are mostly ignoring the surreal drift of the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton’s troubles. Despite the fact that the Democrats seem to be escaping harsh media scrutiny, this is no easy time for them. In fact, to be considered as a leader who is in sync with the Democratic faithful and the disconnected yet growing left-wing base of the party, you have to put yourself through ideological, intellectual and moral contortions. To be seen as a good Democrat, you have to ignore a lot. You have to pretend a lot."

Most importantly, consider each of these points....

"And in politics, when the facts are bad enough, you don’t have to embellish your opponent’s problems. Today, it is the truth that Democratic candidates and activists have to:

Avoid saying “All lives matter.” Incredibly, that phrase has become controversial.

Pretend that a video of a Planned Parenthood executive swilling wine and stuffing her mouth with salad while nonchalantly talking about how to properly kill an unborn baby in order to harvest its body parts is no big deal.

Pretend that President Obama going to a prison and kibitzing with prisoners is a good use of his time and good imagery. (But if he were to visit a police department to deliver a morale boost, it would rile Democrats everywhere.)

Herald the agreement with Iran as “historic,” enforceable and good for Israel and other U.S. allies.

Fake enthusiasm for Clinton’s presidential campaign, as well as either ignore that she is starting to trail in swing states and that her favorability ratings are dropping or just pretend those aren’t bad omens.

Pretend Clinton appears sincere, effective and honest whenever you see her on TV.

Pretend that it’s okay to shut down part of a Fifth Avenue luxury department store for a $600 haircut while surrounded by a huge entourage, and that it doesn’t take a toll on Clinton’s image.

Act like it is reasonable for Clinton to have a non-position on the Democrats’ threshold issue of the Keystone XL pipeline.

I could go on, but you get my point."
