    For those scoring at home: Yes, I tweet links to C-Span videos & the Congressional Record. No, I dont go on national television in front of millions of people and liken any Democratic candidates' voters to Nazi brownshirts or liken their successes to the Nazi defeat of France.

    My last name “Sirota” is Russian for “orphan.” My grandfather & his family fled the antisemitic pogroms of Russia & worked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. My other grandfather served in the army in Europe during WWII. I don’t enjoy people questioning my family’s heritage or patriotism

    Lots of Democrats are in full panic that Bernie Sanders will win the nomination and get clobbered in the general election — and bring the party down, too. But the evidence, particularly the polling, doesn't back those doomsday warnings.
