Everybody knows that moment in a restaurant when you are over the line from mediocre service to a truly terrible experience. You have sat there to long, you are already into a drink or the bread, you know you should have already left. Then you finally get the waiter’s attention and they reply with something rude or even vulgar. They have already “Blown the tip.” They know it, you know it, you know they know it. At that point they have no reason to restrain their conduct. Any money they collect is a pure unearned gain. Their costs are already sunk. The Democrats are in the same position. They have already nominated an unqualified, race baiting extremist tied to extraordinarily corrupt financial manipulators. Their tools in the media have already participated in a campaign of slander and fraud so breathtaking as to lay them open to legal liability. They have already engaged in a pattern of intimidation and abuse and thuggery unseen in America in decades. At this point the Democrats have nothing to lose.
