On the Patrick Option

No, this post isn’t about reactionaries and the demise of Christianity in America. It’s about Deval Patrick’s decision to enter the race.

If you read the guy’s biography, he might as well be Cory Booker’s twin. Booker is a worthy candidate on paper, but for a variety of reasons, he is going nowhere in the race. So, the obvious question is, why? What possible chance does Patrick have at this point in the process, with no money or organization?

I understand that the realos are concerned about Biden’s viability. Repeatedly encouraging new moderate candidates to enter the race and further splinter the realo vote is about the dumbest way possible to stop Warren.
