The Pollsters

A surprise takedown in NY-14, where there was no polling in the Ocasio-Cortez/Crowley race.  Is the shockwave also a bellwether?  We cheer women, young and old, rocking the Democratic primaries (70% of open seats going to women over men) and wonder why that’s not happening on the GOP side (30%). We’ve got Westworld, Scandinavia, anger, exhaustion, and days and days of the Red Frickin’ Hen.
