3. Folks who applaud this

Are the same ones who who were hollering "foul play" in last year's NJ Senate election.

At best it is disingenuous if they support Hogg now.

Where they see a freedom fighter - I see a "Party Boss". Not much difference between him and Steve Sweeney of NJ. New Boss - meet the old Boss. If he doesn't want folks to side eye his behavior then he needs to step down from the DNC.

If I can't have preference or push for a choice in the Senate Campaign in NJ as a Democratic Committee Member - he shouldn't have one in multiple House Races.

Also - I'm old enough to remember progressives pulling their hair out over moving SC up in the primaries.And being pissed Clyburn endorsed Biden.
