Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America enjoy learning that the Democratic National Committee is still mired in chaos and that the liberal establishment and the Bernie Sanders supporters are still feuding more than a year after the 2016 campaign and just months before the midterm elections. They also groan as the threat of a government shutdown looms and some Republicans think they can win the public relations battle, even though the media always pin the blame on Republicans, regardless of the circumstances. And they shred CNN for co-opting the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. to advance progressive environmental policies and for suggesting King was a socialist “before it was cool.”

The Democratic Party is run by and for billionaires, who wave dollar bills — extracted from the middle class — in front of the poor to buy their votes.
How they’re going to make a deal with the socialist wing of the party, I’m not sure. Probably they will try to buy them off, as well.
There are eerie parallels to the way the Roman Republic was taken down by the super-rich and the poor, allied against the middle of society.
Hey, Jim, time to get ready for tomorrow!
