Interesting point here from Glenn Reynolds: “You know, it’s cynical but I wonder if part of Warren’s trouble with Cromnibus is the campaign-finance provision that would give the party apparat a lot more power.” …You know, that very well could be the reason why Elizabeth Warren is pushing this. God knows that it can’t be because of any genuine populism on her, or indeed any national Democrat’s, part: that crowd hasn’t generated a true, authentic populist since William Jennings Bryan. Political calculation really does seem to be the simpler explanation that fits all the facts.
