POTUS 45.32: QAnon Will Help Show the Truth

Perez is trying to get the DNC moving again after the 2016 interlude -- he is basically rebuilding the party from scratch with technocrats and trying, very gently, to discard the dead wood. Remember, he was the compromise candidate. Ellison would have done it all at once and probably faced a bureaucratic backlash so strong it would have prevented any real movement. We have thirty years of ingrown rent seeking toenails in the Democratic establishment, from Clintonista time servers to CBC slumlords, and they all have to be shown the door in a way politically savvy enough that we don't lose their supporters. The tacit agreement has been they can stay on until they latch on elsewhere in the Carousel. We don't have anything as obvious as Fox News to park them in, but we do have a myriad of media and think tanks who will take them just to trade on their Rolodexes.

Perez is a very, very smart guy, and he has great political instincts. He is OK in front of the camera but not great -- he has primarily been making the rounds to prevent some of the other candidate voices from co-opting the party and starting the whole machine over again. He also has to be somewhat careful of his flank because in a pure, fair democratic environment the voices that win will probably be more extreme (which is to say: sane) than the donor class wants to hear. Perez is no revolutionary; he's scared to abandon the party to principles and like Obama he thinks we can somehow serve two masters, and history be d-mned.

Anyway, there are lots of moving parts and the kind of simplistic narratives we hear here are as wrong and irrelevant as some loudmouth calling into sports radio.

Yes! There's no downside here Scooby. Any so-called embarrassing revelations the GOP and their Russian masters already have. Keep the pressure on.

LOL. I bet it costs us 5 seats this November. Minimum.

So ranking is done by incoming LSAT?

Is there a ranking on passing the bar? Seems more relevant. If tD’s lawyer IS a lawyer that counts for something :). Maybe

I think the ideal ranking would be getting a job. Plenty of these places soak 300 people for 3 years and turn them loose on the bar exam. Even if they pass (and I mean, the Michigan bar exam? I suspect that isn't exactly California.), well, if 20,000 newly minted lawyers are created every year and there are 2,000 jobs, that means 90% of the people who are quote lawyers unquote are also quote unemployed unquote.

Well to be honest many lawyers are shingle types who open an office. All the ones I golf with are that. They do quite well.

One doesn’t need to work for the gov’ment or Wall Street. :)

The ones that work for the government are paid a lot less than those on Wall $treet
