If you didn't already understand that the Democrat Party is irredeemably sick and twisted, watching them give Iran a total pass for murdering 180 people on an airplane so they can try to score a cheap political point on Trump ought to do it.
You can't fix a party like the Democrats by hoping some sort of moderate, sane reformer comes along and pulls them together under new leadership. You have to burn them to the ground at the ballot box and hope something better rises from the ashes.
If you're an older Dem, you have to realize that the deformed and venomous party encouraging Iran to kill more innocent people - and that is EXACTLY what they are doing by babbling about "crossfires" or saying it's Trump's fault - bears no resemblance to the Dems of your youth.
JFK would walk right up to most of today's Democrats and punch them right in the mouth if he heard them shilling for Tehran. He'd be screaming "what the hell is WRONG with you?" as he looked in ashen horror at the flaming ruins of the Ukrainian jet.
Yes, all of these ghouls would be singing a completely different tune if any of this were happening on a Democrat president's watch - say Barack Obama, master of the drone strike and the unauthorized invasion - but this goes beyond partisanship or hypocrisy.
It's not just about getting justice for the victims of the Ukrainian jet, which requires clearly naming their real killers. It's about preventing more jets from going down, more rocket attacks that kill Americans, more assaults on embassies.
You can't fix the sickness on display in the Democrat Party today. There is no sane leader who is going to step forward and put these people straight. They're too much in thrall to tiny bands of online lunatics, too obsessed with juicing up their voters for 2020.
You can only separate party leadership from the kooks by making the political opportunists in the Dem Party see lunacy as a losing political proposition. /end
