I liked both of them for different reasons. Yes I wanted Porter to win because I believed in her convictions to progressive policy, but if you watched the January 6th hearings, Schiff was fucking amazing.
I was a huge fan before and after the hearings. He was great. I am far, far, less of a fan after seeing this cynical and slimy campaign.
Just because a broken clock is right twice a day doesn't mean it's a good reliable clock.
I think that's a cute phrase but I don't accept its application here. For example, one could say Porter's viral whiteboards was a broken-clock. Her campaign strategy just wasn't very effective. Even I as a supporter barely heard a blip from her that just last month I had to Google what's going on. Her debate performance wasn't that great either.
I'd rather they both be in Congress from different positions.
Now, the vaccuum left by Porter as the article points out jeopordizes our congressional prospects further.
Pettily downvote all you want.
Her campaign was outspent by a lot because Schiff was backed by big money pac. And he did it in a scummy way.
I stand behind my usage of the broken clock adage.
What "big money pac" are you referring to? I'm looking at the data for both Porter and Schiff and they both received PAC money..
Schiff still out-raised Porter in individual campaign contributions — both big, and small.
Political Action Committees aren't really a problem. SuperPACs are.
By the way...
