C-SPAN presents: The horror movie no progressive should have to face. Why it should be required viewing for every voting Democrat in America.

“Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.”

This wisdom teaching is possibly Joseph Campbell’s, but it is probably far older. It means that wherever you most fear to go may offer wisdom and insight you could gain nowhere else.

Which is why every voting Democrat in America should watch the 2016 C-SPAN coverage of the Hillary Clinton campaign victory party that wasn’t. Every voting progressive should view the video as if they were an NFL coach watching footage of their last losing game as if winning the next one depended on it.

It does.

The fact that Democrats have been afraid to face the video above for all the days of the Trump administrtaion, should tell any reasonable individual interested in examining history from the perspective of not repeating it all they need to know.
