with clean, shiny new campaign manager: Faiz Shakir, former national political director for the American Civil Liberties Union. Shakir's also worked for Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.

Don't know how Sanders could have been so foolish as to rehire those operatives in the first place. Obviously there are strategic differences in going relatively respectable and trying to align more with the progressives he rejected last time, but surely the feedback also clued him in that this time the press will be asking all the unpleasant questions they didn't before, and more?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
