FWIW, I predicted on Twit some time ago that Dinobernie would be the nominee.
I based this on three things. 1) He has money and can raise money better than anyone else. 2) He has a strong organization dating from 2016. These aren’t built easily. 3) His followers are cultish and committed. His core is NOT going away, unlike those who are backing ComanChe (Warren), Buttplugs, or Biteme.
John Kass is an unusual reporter at the Chicago Tribune. He’s reasonably conservative, and a very good writer. Not quite sure how he has survived over there. Perhaps, in Chicago fashion, he has the goods on his bosses.
