In July, after all, it will be 15 years since a skinny guy with an odd name sang a hymn to American union. “There is not a liberal America and a conservative America,” then-Illinois state Sen. Barack Obama told the Democratic National Convention. “There is the United States of America. There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America — there’s the United States of America.”
Last week, another skinny guy with an odd name — Beto O'Rourke — sounded a similar theme as he kicked off his presidential campaign in El Paso.
