Faiz did a great job with this update. Reporting unprecedented, blockbuster fundraising numbers makes for great fun.

At around time index 26:00, Faiz expounded quite nicely on several points narrowly reported in the New Year's Day piece in the Washington Post piece. You can read the whole thing here.

I've always been confident of a Sanders 2020 victory, starting with his choice of Faiz as campaign manager. The former political director of the ACLU struck me as the PERFECT choice to manage the campaign.

With this latest update, though, I have been struck in a new way. Faiz's grasp of the campaign on and the moment-by-moment logistics reminds me of the similar work David Plouffe did for Obama in 2008. He had hourly plans, daily plans and weekly plans to carry then-Senator Obama to his landslide.

The fact that Faiz has BOATLOADS more money to do it versus what Plouffe had, even adjusting for inflation, is icing on the cake.
