why would wood ever become the establishment choice exactly?

lack of alternatives, inoffensiveness to power and his ties to the Dem consulting industry

that's speculative, not founded on anything real

mind you Wood has co-opted a lot of the anti-establishment rhetoric going around right now, he hasn't explicitly said he'd tank Schumer but I imagine he's still unpalatable to them on this basis alone

Platner is getting a *lot* of real traction, I'd be sort of shocker if he doesn't get endorsements from state officials soon

his closeness to Dem power centers seems more than speculative, is what I'm saying. I suspect he's still working on Mills

his closeness to dem power centers is not speculative, but there's no actual evidence of him colluding with the establishment yet, that's what i meant

i think there's close to zero reason to worry about this happening, even if it does, all the more likely Platner wins. their best chance at beating him is Mills, who is the only person around with universal name rec (though I suspect she would *also* lose to Platner!)

like seriously if the establishment tries to deploy Mills or Wood or Frey or whoever i think that only strengthen's Platner's case, not hurts it
