The left's fetish for a pristine past is misguided

The left's fetish for a pristine past is misguided
The issue is not about the titillation of the past but guilt by association. Booker and Harris are young, but they doth protest too much. Booker has enough neo-liberal associations to question his ability to lead us out of a Clintonian past. So do Biden and Obama. Harris was a persecutor, I mean prosecutor, which gains her no cred among the far left either. Street cred is not earned by taking down the front-runner. Warren has been staying above the debate and is gaining, for now. These are all angels dancing on a pin questions.

The real issue is whether Pence is under investigation (likely) and how it will turn out. If he is, it has a huge impact on the nomination. Indeed, it could be controlling. See http://xianleft.blogspot.com/2019/06/pelosi-trump-clinton-and-nixon.html
