Is Hillary the Democrat's Devil?

No, I don't mean the devil as evil incarnate.  I mean the tempter.  The one who says, "You can have all the power, if I can have your soul."  Her win at any cost strategy to secure the nomination involves selling out many of the principles of fair play that the Democratic party stands for.  Her reason?  I can win.  Is gaining the White House worth it?  Should the Democrats (namely those super delegates) sell the soul of the party for the promise of victory?  Is that victory guaranteed?  Is imitating the worst qualities of the Republican attack machine worth it?   Is it worth the potential of losing the African-American base?  Is it worth losing many young voters who might otherwise be Republicans?  Is it worth our soul?

No to all that. We won't sell out. Not this time.

It's not going to work that way. If she gets the nomination it'll be a case of winning the battle and losing the war.
Haven't you ever heard of karma?
