Extreme Unctions

Today I have been comparing and contrasting Bernie Sander's and Donald Trump's political and economic motives for seeking their respective Party nominations. Senator Sanders and Chief Corporate Executive Officer Trump began with intent to become The Nominee, we might presume. But is that it? What would a win mean exactly for our shared ecopolitical future? Sanders seems more transparent in response to these questions, while Trump appears more articulate about what he prefers to not lose. Sanders, going back to his decision to launch his Presidential aspirations, hoped to influence his Democratic Party's national political-economic nutritional depth for stronger multicultural empathy-trust and more effective investment in global ecological health. Did Trump possibly hope to influence the National Republican Party's platform, economic agenda, in a surgically opposite insurrection? To raise our mutual economic immunity walls toward further monocultural, monopolistic, monochromatic outcomes? To end democratic humane equivocation between competitive economics as usual defeating more cooperative ecological investment of public dollars and imagination to improve multicultural regeneratively flowing circulation of Earth's goods and beauties? Sander's exegesis of evolution as "Might makes right." translates to We mightily consider this and we mightily consider that to derive together more therapeutic balance. Trump's "Might makes right." is of the Either-Or Orthodox Tradition, not Sander's newer ecopolitical might means maybe some of all of the above, a more Dialectical Discernment Tradition of strength through organic fluidity, as contrasted to mechanical stasis. From today's perspective, it appears the Senator, while not having won nomination, does point out specific ecopolitical Wins within the National Democratic Party's agenda, which were significant to his original intent for seeking nomination. But, what about CEO Trump's wins to date? He won the nomination of the Republican Party but has he thereby enjoyed greater, or suffered lesser, influence on his Party's marketable platform? Has he increased or decreased Republican political with economic coherence toward a healthier-happier future for richly diverse residents, both those who can vote, and those who have not yet even been born? All those presumably future potentiating Republicans. What legacy would Trump leave for the long-term health of his favorite Republic's future? Did Trump, or Sanders, enter the race for delegate votes hoping to win the hearts and minds of our multicultural society to a new post-millennial age of political and economic cooperation inviting a more peaceful co-empathic climate of mutual trust and co-investment in our polyculturing, evolving health deepening, resonating more powerfully flexible resolutions to support these uniting states of mind and body unto perpetuity? Or was Trump or Sanders more clear about what he could not and would not tolerate with humility--to lose his ambitions for capital-centric ego-political competition to Win over Losers not plutocratic enough to assuredly purchase his Party not even positive enough to assure Republicans or Democrats that God will smile again on those who have accumulated more by giving back less co-investment. In God We Trust to hoard our mess and health our co-invest.
