Bernie Sanders Lobs A Crippling Blow At The Kochs With Bill To Publicly Fund Elections

148. How does that go?

Speechifying won't change the gerrymandered districts that allowed the Republicans to claim the House Majority, they're locked in until the next census, so until then the Republicans will continue to block everything. To use the bully pulpit requires the participation of the broadcast media to deliver his message to all citizens, but no broadcaster is going to give away free primetime space to help promote a partisan agenda that would likely alienate a good portion of their viewers and revenue generating advertisers, there's no getting around the money factor. Even if all the dominoes miraculously fell into place, such a bill would face a guaranteed delay in a series of red state lawsuits followed by a long slog to the Supreme Court, a court that has already squashed one proposal to mandate public financing.

So, from a realistic standpoint, how does Sanders overcome these predictable obstacles, the same ones that thwarted Obama's major goals mind you, to get this mystical progressive congress in 2018... a midterm election year that is significantly notable for a traditionally low Democratic voter turnout?
