Rushfield on the Great Ron Meyer Mystery: 1) Seems more complex and (he notes) more pathetic than deskbound notions of sexism & privilege & casting couches; 2) he's got a theory 3) great paragraph on fate of Hollywood ex-gods Ovitz, Katzenberg, Diller etc https://t.co/SfaP4Ve0Kq https://t.co/EsDIEw0Cmu

Where @murphymike goes wrong: He says if there's a whiff of a promising vaccine result pre-election, "[t]he breathless media of our digital age will erupt. A cure is on the way!"

TOP 5 PROBLEMS WITH DEM CONVENTION: 1: Too little bread and butter economic policy https://t.co/yGeBA62esY 2) Too base-oriented (whole lot of diversity, not so much there for swing voters in crucial states) 3) Too "vote" oriented (were Dems spooked by their own USPS story)? 1/2
