You know what you said, and that loaded words have power. I never thought I’d see a democrat cry about rigged elections. This is shameful, and it’s manipulative.

The loud rebuke of Katie Porter’s “rigged” claim shows that the pro-democracy crowd isn’t putting up with that crap no matter which party it comes from. And that’s a good sign for our country.

⁩, when you call our election “rigged,” you sound like Trump. Our democracy is on the line. Your words will increase distrust of our political process.

You lost. Best to concede gracefully and find another way to serve the public.

As the dust is starting to settle on the CA senate primary, how do you feel about Adam Schiff? [View all] Stinky The Clown Mar 6 OP

Happy to have him in the Senate. Sad to lose him in the House along with... CousinIT Mar 6 #1

Not underhanded, smart. Instead of attacking Reps. Porter and Lee, his ads attacked repug Garvey. brush Mar 6 #2

I find it hard to believe no one knew who he was until Schiff attacked him AZSkiffyGeek Mar 6 #29

So true. IMO a no-brainer. brush Mar 6 #45

AGREED. Silver Gaia Mar 7 #78

It was a brilliant tactic as long as Schiff is clean and wins. Renew Deal Mar 6 #3

Garvey maybe. rubbersole Mar 6 #4

Why would you even imagine such a thing? Sibelius Fan Mar 6 #9

I don't imagine it. Renew Deal Mar 6 #16

Left me... 2naSalit Mar 6 #5

My feelings, too Mz Pip Mar 6 #18

I didn't see any ads with him attacking anyone but Garvey. onecaliberal Mar 6 #32

I missed him being "nasty and attacking" JoseBalow Mar 6 #34

Where did I say that he was? 2naSalit Mar 6 #38

Oh, do you mean he could have theoretically in the future? JoseBalow Mar 6 #44

Neither did I... 2naSalit Mar 6 #47

I'm sure he's banking on the fact JoseBalow Mar 6 #49

I think... 2naSalit Mar 6 #68

Blame the fact that there were 3 serious Democrats and 2 less so compared to 2 Republicans karynnj Mar 7 #82

Me too. So sorry. onecaliberal Mar 6 #64

It says 'nasty and attacking' right there in your OP NanaCat Mar 7 #97

Make of it what you will... 2naSalit Mar 7 #100

How was he "nasty and attacking"? The ads didn't attack any Democrats. betsuni Mar 6 #37

Where did I state that he was? 2naSalit Mar 6 #40

"he could have run a sound campaign ... without being nasty and attacking." betsuni Mar 6 #42

I was comparing the options... 2naSalit Mar 6 #46

Perhaps he "could have" (future tense) but it seems unlikely that Porter "would have" (future tense). Oopsie Daisy Mar 7 #80

Didn't he focus his attack ads on Garvey and not fellow Dems Porter and Lee? brush Mar 6 #41

Neither Porter or Lee could have used that tactic. It works only if you are karynnj Mar 7 #84

What do you mean, all 3 are US House Representatives. Schiff is not... brush Mar 7 #92

Schiff started out as the most popular and neither ever got close karynnj Mar 9 #102

Porter and Lee did what they thought was best and so did Schiff. brush Mar 9 #104

I agree karynnj Mar 9 #105

Rep. Porter probably should've used the oppo info. She made a decision not to. brush Mar 9 #106

In what way was he nasty and attacking? brooklynite Mar 15 #110

I feel great and he'll be CA Senator for as long as he likes. maxsolomon Mar 6 #7

Did Porter have to leave the House to run for Senator? whathehell Mar 6 #31

I think Porter in a cabinet post is perfect Captain Zero Mar 6 #62

He'll make a good Senator, just sorry Katie Porter lost her position. Fla Dem Mar 6 #8

I can understand Porter and Lee going for it. CA Senator seats open up every 20-30 years. Sibelius Fan Mar 6 #10

I have no opinion about Adam Schiff. n/t elocs Mar 6 #11

I hope Porter is offered a Cabinet post pfitz59 Mar 6 #12

I've been wondering about her next... 2naSalit Mar 6 #19

She should have lost with dignity. No fucking need to complain and bellyache about "rigged" elections. SoFlaBro Mar 7 #79

She's burning a lot of bridges... Happy Hoosier Mar 10 #108

Schiff is an American Hero as far as I'm concerned. Happy Hoosier Mar 6 #13

Schiff made a tactical decision early on, as did Porter even earlier DFW Mar 6 #14

What's underhanded about framing the arguments against your Fall opponent? brooklynite Mar 6 #15

It was politically smart for him and I am sure Porter saw it as underhanded. former9thward Mar 6 #17

Why are you "sure" Porter viewed it as underhanded? whathehell Mar 6 #33

Did you miss all her comments about it? former9thward Mar 6 #48

Yes, I did miss them. whathehell Mar 6 #59

I said in the news, I said posts on DU. former9thward Mar 6 #65

I know what you said whathehell Mar 6 #70

Why will Republicans turn out Garvey, but not Trump karynnj Mar 6 #39

There will not be any increased turnout for Trump. former9thward Mar 6 #52

He will be also seen as very likely to lose karynnj Mar 6 #53

You have your opinion and I have mine. former9thward Mar 6 #54

Nobody is debating if Garvey will lose, he will.. DemocratInPa Mar 6 #66

I wouldn't count on that 'higher' Garvey turnout NanaCat Mar 7 #96

As long as he annihilates fascist Steve Garvey I'm OK with it! Initech Mar 6 #67

What's harmful are baseless attacks that campaign contributions corrupt and beholden Democrats betsuni Mar 6 #69
