6 days ago | herald-zeitung.com | Terry Mattingly

For more than 50 years ABC, with very few exceptions, has offered “The Ten Commandments” as the network’s featured film for Holy Week. Nothing says “Easter” like a showdown between Moses, the 13th-century B.C. Hebrew prophet, and the pharaoh, Ramses the Great, and the gods of Egypt. “Why is ‘The Ten Commandments’ an Easter movie? Part of me thinks they play it because people think it’s a generic Christian movie,” said Joe Wilson, reached by telephone.

The 2016 losing Democrat was Hillary Clinton; the party moved on in 2020. Before that, John Kerry was the losing Democrat in 2004. He made some noise about giving it another try in 2008, and the party told him to forget it. The losing Democrat in 2000 was Al Gore. The party did not give him a second chance.
