Xa uPallone ebaleka ukuphinda akhethwe kwakhona ngo-1992, wabaleka kwitikiti kunye noClinton, xa amaDemokhrasi oyisa uBush kuzwelonke kwaye waphelisa umlo ophumeleleyo wobongameli kwiRiphabhlikhi kwi-Garden State eyabuyela emva ngo-1968. Iminyaka engamashumi amabini anesine emva koko, umenzi womthetho omde ujonge kwiDemocratic National Convention kamva kulenyanga (25-25 kaJulayi) kunye nokutyunjwa kweqela lakhe uHillary Rodham Clinton, owayesakuba yinenekazi lokuqala, kwaye ubhiyozela imbali kunye neyakhe babelane ngamava ezopolitiko kunye neClintons. U-Pallone waqala ukulumkisa ngezopolitiko zika-Mongameli ngo-1960, xa uJohn F. Kennedy walwa noRichard Nixon. UKennedy wayengumkhuthazi kuPallone, owathi xa eneminyaka elithoba wafumanisa i-JFK ngento echazwa yi-congressman njengekamva elijolise kwikamva. Uhlala efumana umgangatho ofanayo kwiiClintons, utshilo. Into endiyikhumbulayo ngokumangalisayo malunga nalawo Mgaqo-nkqubo weDemokhrasi ka-1992 yayiyintetho yokwamkela uClinton, indoda eyayithetha ngentetho, utshilo uPallone. Ndikhumbula ndisesemgangathweni. Badlala ividiyo yobomi bukaBil Clinton, eyayiyimbonakalo yePhupha laseMelika kum. Ndifumene isimboli seThemba sinethemba elikhulu. Ndikhalile. Ndacinga ukuba yintetho engakholelekiyo leyo. Ngeliphandle yenye yezinto eziqhubeka nokundikhuthaza. AbakwaClintons banethemba ngekamva, yongeze le nkongolo. Ndazise uBill Clinton kwi-rally yokuqala ebutsheni balo nyaka, kwaye ndaqala ukuthetha naye kancinci phambi kwentlanganiso kwaye wakhankanya uThomas Edison kunye nomoya wokwenza izinto ezintsha. Leyo yindlela awayehlala ecinga ngayo malunga nelizwe, njengethuba lokwenza izinto ezintsha. UPallone ubona uHillary Clinton oyisa umtyunjwa weRiphabhlikhi owayekhethwe nguDonald Trump ngo-Novemba, ngokuyinxenye kuba ekholelwa ekubeni iiDemokhrasi zilungiselele ingxoxo ngekamva. Eyona nto iphambili sifuna ukuba le yindibano apho iiDemokhrasi zimanyene, utshilo. Umanyano olusekwe kwimiba lubalulekile. Ukuba singadibana eqongeni, kwaye ukuba simanyene njengeqela, siya kuluphumelela unyulo. Ngaphandle komcimbi kaTrump, kubaluleke kakhulu ukwenza eli phulo malunga nemicimbi, wongeza uPallone. Kudala ndiseCongress. Ndilwa namaRiphabhlikhi yonke imihla. Ndisebenza namaRiphabliki, nawo wonke umntu. Kodwa xa kuziwa kwimiba, ndizifumana ndilwa namaRiphabhlikhi ndizama ukudiliza ukhuselo lokusingqongileyo kwaye nditshitshise umThetho woKhathalelo ongenakufikeleleka. Abaze bafune ukuchitha nayiphi na imali ukutyala imali kwixa elizayo. Ndiva nje ukuba iRiphabhlikhi ijolise kakhulu kwixesha elidlulileyo, yongeze le nkongolo. Ndicinga ukuba kubalulekile ukuba abaDemokhrasi bathethe malunga nemiba. Ngaphandle kwayo yonke loo nto, ewe, ndicinga ukuba uDonald Trump ngumgqatswa owoyikekayo kuba wahlulahlula. Siyazingca ngokwahluka kwethu. UTrump uthi okwahlukileyo. Kufuneka sibe nendlela eya phambili ukuze abasebenzi abangenazo iimpepha babe nendlela yokuba ngabemi, kwaye ufuna ukwakha udonga. Qho xa ethetha ngokwakha udonga konke endinokucinga ukuba ludonga luzama ukwahlula abantu. U-Pallone waphulukana no-Cory Booker kwi-2013 ye-Democratic Primary kwi-Senate yase-US. Izidemon ngoku zikhaba amavili kwi-Booker VP yokugqatswa. Ndicinga ukuba uCory angangusekela mongameli omkhulu, uPallone, kodwa andinalwazi lwangaphakathi malunga nokuba ngubani oza kukhethwa nguHillary. Indlu yowiso-mthetho eqhubela phambili, i-congressman ithe indibano izakubaluleka ekuziseni ndawonye abaDemokhrasi. Ukuba iqela lakhe linokumanyanisa kwaye liphile emva kwexesha lokuqala leyantlukwano, uPallone uthe iiDemokhrasi ziya kuphumelela. Inyani yalonto kukuba xa uthetha [uphulukana nophikisana noMongameli weDemokhrasi] uBernie Sanders, uninzi, malunga ne-70%, yento awayeyifuna sele ikwiqonga leDemocratic Party, itshilo ingqungquthela. Usatyhalela ukubonelelwa ngokuchasene nesivumelwano sokurhweba esidlulayo, kwaye ndiyavumelana naye. Uyakuthanda i-15 yeedola ezincinci, kwaye ndiyayithanda loo nto, nayo. Ndamxhasa uHillary ngaphezulu kukaBernie ngokuyinxenye kuba ndicinga ukuba uHillary uyinkqubela phambili. Ndabandakanyeka kakhulu kuHillary noBill Clinton xa sasenza iNkqubo ye-Inshurensi yaBantwana yezeMpilo [i-State Children Health Insurance Programme] i-S-CHIP, naxa sigunyazisa i-S-CHIP, ndandingoyena uxhasayo. Eyona nto iphambili kwiClintons, kunye noHillary ngokukodwa, zihamba phambili kwezopolitiko. Ngokwam kudala ndaba ligqwetha kukhathalelo lwempilo lomntu omnye, kodwa bendisazi ukuba ngekhe sikwazi ukuyidlulisa loo nto. Sigqibe ukufumana inkqubo yabucala ubukhulu becala phantsi koMthetho woKhathalelo ongenakufikeleleka, omnye usabandakanya urhulumente ngendlela ebonakalayo neqinisekileyo. Andinangxaki ngale nto yayicetyiswa nguBernie. Ndicinga ukuba uBernie uyawuxhasa umThetho weZempilo ongenakufikeleleka, kodwa kwiimeko ezininzi iimeko zakhe bezinqwenela ngokuchasene noko sinokukufeza. UBill noHillary bebesoloko bezama ukusebenza neeRiphabhlikhi. Ebesemiseleni iminyaka ezama ukuba urhulumente athathe inxaxheba ekusombululeni iingxaki. I-PolitickerNJ ibuze uPallone ukuba ukholelwa kweliphi na ukuba liza kuba lilifa lika-Mongameli u-Barack Obama, angazange amxhase kwi-Democratic Primary ka-2008 ngethuba u-Obama esoyisa uClinton. Ndicinga ukuba ilifa lakhe liya kuba nguMthetho woKhathalelo ongenakufikeleleka, utshilo. Bobabini u-Obama noHillary babona imfazwe njengendawo yokugqibela. Akukho namnye ongathanda ukubandakanyeka. Lo mongameli uzuze njengelifa iingxaki kwaye ebezama ukusikhupha eIraq naseIran. Sibe nokungaboni ngasonye malunga nendlela esiyenza ngayo loo nto. Ndingummeli wokuphuma ngokukhawuleza, kodwa bobabini u-Obama no-Hillary bajolise ekuzameni ukusikhupha, ngelixa iRiphabhlikhi, ngokuqinisekileyo iTrump-iTrump ivakala ngathi ayilindeli ukuba imfazwe iqale. UPallone waya kwindibano yakhe yokuqala yedemokhrasi ngo-1988, xa uDukakis wayenyulwe njengo-Mongameli we-Democratic. I-congressman yexesha elizayo namhlanje ikhumbula ukudibana noMmeli wase-US owayenamandla uClaude Pepper kwaye ethetha naye malunga nokuzama ukungena kwikomiti yokuguga. Iphulo lokuqala lenkomfa yasePallone elibeka phambili ekubuyisweni kweelwandle zaseNew Jersey ezazivalwe ngenxa yokulahlwa kolwandle. Indibano yayikokokuqala ndakhe ndaya eAtlanta, kwaye ndiyakhumbula ukuba bekukho uchulumanco olukhulu kwindawo yamaGrike aseMelika eDukakis, utshilo uPallone. Babenjengabantu abanemincili. UPallone ukhumbule, ngomsindo, ixesha lephulo lika-2004. Into eyandicaphukisayo yayikukucinga [ngelo xesha uSenator uJohn] uKerry wayengumgqatswa olungileyo, owayekhe wakhonza eVietnam, ikhumbula le nkongolo. Wayegxekwa kuba wayengumgqirha wezilwanyana waseVietnam. Kwakukubi. Esinye sezizathu zokuba ndingamthandi uDonald Trump kukuba andinako ukumxolela Amagqabantshintshi awenzileyo malunga [noSenator John] McCain . Andinako. Umsindo nje.
