Highlight:

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

As long as Rep. Schiff has been in the national spotlight, not to mention huge California's... brush Mar 6 #36

I don't want to go down a negative rabbit hole. Renew Deal Mar 6 #50

I got you. Schill is a known quantity. No one is in the spotlight that long without their skeletons, if any... brush Mar 6 #60

What are you talking about? Demsrule86 Mar 7 #89

What are you talking about? Renew Deal Mar 7 #91

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

Campaigned in Poetry JustAnotherGen Mar 6 #6

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

Hmmm former9thward Mar 7 #99

Love the guy. I was incredibly impressed with his performance regarding investigations & impeachments Hekate Mar 6 #20

I prefer Porter, but I'm fine with him TexasBushwhacker Mar 6 #21

He is GREAT !!!!!! Trueblue1968 Mar 6 #22

Was Porter's tactic Wise of So Gratuitously Attacking Schiff Cha Mar 6 #23

I'm glad he attacked his Republican opponent rather than fellow Democrats. W_HAMILTON Mar 6 #24

No kidding. I hope she had the grace to Concede? Cha Mar 6 #56

I will really miss Porter mvd Mar 6 #25

Politics is a game and Schiff knows how to play it to win MistakenLamb Mar 6 #26

It is an ideal outcome. Porter/Schiff will not have to raise and waste a ton of money sniping at eachother. tritsofme Mar 6 #27

I Am a Porter Fan But.... Camaromjr Mar 6 #28

I like Adam Schiff. I am glad he won. He is a great Democrat. I will say Katie Porter could Demsrule86 Mar 6 #30

I would prefer Katie Porter dlk Mar 6 #57

He'll be a great Senator mcar Mar 6 #58

Preferred Porter for Senate and I can live with the outcome. Duncan Grant Mar 6 #61

I think Porter has a remarkable talent for messaging coupled with intense expertise of one of the most troubling diva77 Mar 6 #72

She's too progressive for any appointment. Duncan Grant Mar 6 #73

Not that she'd make them all look like fools . . . baklava Mar 7 #74

Different strokes for different boats. Duncan Grant Mar 7 #77

Schiff is great! ananda Mar 6 #63

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

No goal that I can discern. It's simply bitterness, regret, jealousy, revenge and gin * Oopsie Daisy Mar 7 #81

Seeing it here in NJ JustAnotherGen Mar 7 #86

The accusations are mindless drivel at this point. Hard to believe a law professor making over $250,000/yr Nixie Mar 7 #98
