7. That's always the way it is worded, when entrenched establishment is trying to protect its turf.

None of that is what Hogg is proposing. Hogg is proposing that the DNC raise the money and fund grass roots candidacies in their home districts.

The bottom line is doing what it takes to get rid of Trump and frankly, there are a lot of establishment Democrats that still don't get the threat, and still want to play the old time protocols because it works for them in their safe, secure district from which they will always collect campaign contributions and nice, fat government check, whether you and I can access medicade or will get our social security or not.

If we hadn't had this kind of establishment Democratic attitude, none of this would be relevant now. The filibuster would be gone, the court packed, Trump in prison and Republicans wondering what hit them.
