8. I wonder if his words on EW is a way of posturing to replace DWS to head the DNC again...

Perhaps he feels he can't be "too radical" to be appointed there, and perhaps those words aren't what he really means but just a way to get his hands on the controls again of the DNC where he did some good before DWS incrementally destroyed it and the party she "helped" to fail in 2014.

Rahm is safer to go after as I think t he party establishment wants to cast him off now as being too toxic.
