To the elders of the Democratic Party, this is Worst-Case Scenario City: harmless carnival attraction twists into a grisly horror movie in the middle of the final reel. The political variation of Saw v. Two People. Locked inside of a single country. Each with a war chest of souped-up power tools. And this time, the electricity is on.
