I'd quibble only about the seven years part: "this has really been going on pretty much steadily for seven years" - the loathing at the top for the klowns at the bottom has been festering and growing since we klowns put McGovern up for president. They were horrified that the Democratic Party was, for one brief campaign cycle, actually run by and for the people it supposedly represented. They have made sure that such an abomination will never happen again.
