There is a "shaking out" period going on in American politics. America is hearing about "revolution" from the Democrats -- but they have come to understand that the "revolution" would not kill the essence of what America truly is. And we have a choice -- fast (impossible) or slow (likely).
We have also witnessed our "dark side." We have seen the unabated racism, the hatred of "color," the veiled-but-not-too veiled hatred of women and equality, the fear of strangers and new ideas, the moronic anger at nothing in particular except some of our own failures. We haven't gotten a raise -- blame someone. We haven't been rewarded with a new position -- blame someone else. We haven't achieved all we wanted to achieve -- blame everyone! And Trump and Cruz are our mouthpieces!
In spite of it all -- we will triumph. We will still have the "dark side" and it still will be a threat to normalcy. But the best candidate will win -- and America will win. Because it must.
