Nicole Wallace, an ex-Republican on MSNBC, asks fairly often why the Democrats, faced with the monstrous Trump, aren't as angry as she is. Why don't they coordinate an attack on him? And this is repeated by other ex-Republicans, who learned in their old party how to crush rivals.
I discovered the answer to Nicole's question some time back.
About ten years ago, as the least among volunteers, I was answering the phone at a local Democratic HQ, and a drunken woman called in. She wanted to talk to President Obama and tell him he had no balls. When I proved unable to arrange this interchange, she told me that I, too, had no balls.
The secret answer to Nicole Wallace's question is that the Democrats have no balls. There are exceptions, of course, people like Nancy and Bernie. They struggle to get anything done. But they face a wall that is ten feet thick, made up of even thicker lobbyists who guarantee candidates more campaign funds than all the Trumps in Hell.
