whose grasp of "kitchen table" issues and the ways banks, and insurance companies, and the food retailers rip off and gouge consumers is second to none.

Our main adversaries for the rest of this decade are a crazy 78 year old president and several crazy gazillionares. Senator Warren is a wise older lady who knows their scams and can speak clearly and expertly about the price of eggs, and why the banks are charging rates on credit cards that would embarrass Tony Soprano.

Katie Porter would work, too, though I fear the movers and shakers have read the tea leaves from the shattered cup and we will not see a woman at the top levels of the Party for some time to come.

That is unless Michelle Obama decides to take her own advice and jump into the fray in earnest. At this point little surprises or shocks me, though the Charles Kushner appointment as French Ambassador did see me checking for an Onion byline.
