Rick Wilson sure can turn a clever phrase once in a while:

Mullah Bernie is about to declare a fatwa against the establishment billionaires in Mississippi, Missouri, and Michigan.

Joe Walsh:

Yes, Sean Hannity is an idiot, and yes, he’s a big bore, but listening to Hannity tells you exactly what Trump is thinking. And man oh man, it’s crystal clear that Donald Trump is scared to death of Joe Biden. https://t.co/TwW8MSOdRu

In reply to To do something you have to

AOC excels at this kind of corporate cross-examination.
What's the legislation or regulatory fix to improve things?
Even Biden's aware of classic housing shortages/high rents,
and tax avoidance, et al. The claim has always been made
that these successful companies will provide good paying jobs.
When 1/3 of tellers are on assistance, that's either a problem,
or a market fix that needs to be applied wider to other industries.
Of course the WTO might complain about illegal subsidies...
not sure how that compares to some wealthier EU countries.

.@RepKatiePorter to Wells Fargo CEO: How many of your tellers are receiving public assistance in this country?

Wells Fargo CEO: I'm not aware

Katie Porter: It's one-third. pic.twitter.com/z4SKn1nfsu

If AOC and Pelosi work together in the House and there's comity/a majority in the Senate, I don't think we have to drive everything thru Dear Leader. Technically the Legislative branch makes laws.

In reply to Maybe with that "revolution"

To do something you have to have something you want to do. And biden doesn't. Except perhaps restore comity to the senate.

In reply to Major age gap is still there

Maybe with that "revolution" dead we can focus on the doable, along with down-ticket and statewide races this year. Hope Steyer's and Bloomberg's and Yang's pockets still have some oomph to combat the malarkey.

Major age gap is still there in MI:

At same, turnout "through the roof":

In Michigan turnout is through the roof - 314,808 more ballots this year were cast than at the same period in 2016, for a 79% increase. Democratic primary voters are . https://t.co/VdzUnymAqm

Networks say Washington has a lot of votes counted but it is incredibly close.

But Nate Silver says:

One of the challenges for Sanders is that there's not really a state to hang his hat on in the next 2 weeks. FL and GA were always gonna be rough, IL and OH aren't looking hot in light of MI, and in AZ, the age of the electorate seems to be outweighing his strength among Latinos.

And Michael Moore was just talking real upset on MSNBC about how the poor struggling youth vote and Latinos may not turn out in Nov. unless Joe changes his tune. As if Sanders had already lost. He did not refer to the lack of turnout in the youngest age group, though. Which many others are citing, including Chris Hays just now on CNBC who started his coverage saying older voters are coming out "in droves."
