Waiting for the DCCC to put money - painted blue to deep blue - behind Ocasio-Cortez.

Just saying, Hell might freeze over first. Why? Because, as MinnPost's DC Memo notes mid-item:

Ocasio-Cortez, who canvassed for Sen. Bernie Sanders in 2016, ran on an unabashedly left platform centered on Medicare for all, free college, and abolishing ICE. She painted Crowley as a corporate Democrat out of touch with the district, which encompasses a swath of Queens and the Bronx that is home to many working-class minority communities. (Ocasio-Cortez’s viral campaign ad, made on a shoestring, captures her appeal well.)

If there is no DC consultancy money to suck from a candidate, and if a primary victory parks a DCCC fundraiser/incumbent, expect enmity and not delight at the people gaining something while DNC-DCCC oxen get gored, a bit.

Bless them, for even if misguided by an ad made on a shoestring going viral without them, surely they are good and forgiving people.

"Honorable men," as one writer put things.

Having honorable superdelegates aplenty, hip-pocketed, as needed.
