Constantinos Ragazas ; Ideally, both parties would draw up and enact a 'certification' that a candidate is 'safe' to invite to the party or 'consume'. But with the present lack of ethics in both parties ( presently outsized by the 'Big Tent' R's), it would be interesting to watch, but unworkable. Both parties are on the take, with laws that support the lack of ethics.

I understand the difficulties! But keeping things as they are greatly favors the Republicans. Who cannot otherwise win on policy or demographics.

This is a moment when the Democratic Party can take the lead and challenge the Republican Party to do the same. A national mass media campaign ala Gingrich's "Contract with America". It will favor all Democratic candidates and is the most cost effective political advertising in an election year!

Showing in sharp contrast to the American people where their political heart belongs, Country over Party!

The American people will positively respond to this. This could become a watershed moment in American politics. Propelling Democratic policies forward for a long time. Giving us time to fix our otherwise broken system.
