Reality asserts itself - per The Real News.

Two segments with Thomas Frank; here and here. Think of Ossoff in viewing the first, (shortest), of the two.

Think of the Quist-Montana efforts, such as were there, from the Tom Perez lick-the-boots-of-big-donors string pulling failed part of the Democratic Party. It's not democratic. It's Obama's aim at people like himself and Hillary, their wealth building objectives. The mayor of Chicago? The rally (wholly in absentia) during Gipper years, on behalf of the air traffic controllers?

But - Nutshell Time. That first segment = Ossoff Incorporated. That IS the bottom line. (If there is one, that's it.) Did Ossoff mention universal healthcare coverage? Those who really cared over his chances should have that answer, immediately; presumably.

Another thing: Are some self elevating high profile Dem Party folks signing onto Bernie's bill because of Bernie's email donor list? Is there any other explanation, perhaps, sincerity?

UPDATE: View Sanders and the progressive populism he advocated as Jonah emerging from the belly of a whale. After the sailors threw Jonah overboard to calm the angry sea. New Deal Jonah, big donor whale. Only Bernie did not at first disavow his duties. While isolated within the whale the donor list emerged with this Jonah, and lo, attention followed.
