How a person treats a waiter, shares an umbrella in the rain, handles tangled Christmas tree lights, honors his marriage vows, doesn’t use the “c” word on his wife. Y’know.

The biggest responsibility for healing this rift lies with Clinton.

Time to move beyond and away from the Clintons, as much as possible.

“Even when I suggest that electing a bad woman president will do more to set women back than not offering her as our nominee, my wife is unpersuaded.”

Wow – that’d certainly get any reconciliation off to a great start. What about a bad (your term) black male president [in terms of setback]?

I find your analysis simplistic. I don’t find the historical aspect of either a female or a black as president being sufficient reason to put any black or female in that office and with the current candidates I find no other reason to vote for them.

I am neither sexist nor racist but I am thoroughly disgusted with the party and the process and am uncertain that reconciliation is what is needed. Renovation or wholesale reconstruction seems more beneficial.

I keep hoping that the convention delegates will come to their senses and start over.

I know that’s like hoping Reid and Pelosi will get the flock in line to actually accomplish something positive -oh wait, they are going to throw around their weight with the super-delegates to put the final nail in Hillary’s coffin. Nice priorities.

Sometimes conflagration can lead to new growth, stronger roots. In absence of sense, I’d settle for flames.

Blue America is our best hope against a “bad” president of either party.

This is a great country with many, many highly motivated, gifted, qualified people who could lead us. We needed to find them and give them a chance. Now we have. And it’s not just Obama, it’s the people he’s motivated to join the process.
