Vortex of Understanding

THE TINCTURE OF RANCOR

As all eyes turn to this weekend's televised DNC rules committee meeting, I have to say that the tea leaves are reading a disorganized, ill-prepped meeting - the tincture of rancor.

Let's hope I'm wrong.

Separately, it's not clear whether Senator Levin has "dug in" or is just making a 'best case'. Threatening the party is not the way to go, whatever the case ...

Hillary has raised a personal army of 10,000 brownshirts, reportedly, who want to make sure the rules committee feels political pressure.

It might be working. The good folks at DemConvWatch have actually considered a scenario with 1/2 vote for pledged delegates and full votes for supers, a schema that would raise the importance of supers to 45% of the vote out of Michigan!
