Does anyone seriously think that Haley Stevens’s defection is going to flip one single vote to Rogers?

If anything her bullshit is good for El Sayed.

@david that's probably why she did it.

It's reasonable to think she'd already decided to end this phase of her career, so it was a win-win for her to throw this little firecracker as she was wrapping it up.

She gets headlines, her staffers get to pretend to be virtuous, El Sayed might score a few more votes (or not, I don't think it really matters to his election), and voters get a new drama to enjoy.

It's just all part of the stage production.

@volkris @david This suggests that the Democratic party is organized along the same lines as World Wrestling Federation, and…I just don't believe they're that organized.

No, not at all.
Critically, this isn't about the Democratic Party but about a specific candidate making a change of career after an election loss.

Stevens decided to throw in the towel and looked for the most personally beneficial way of exiting the scene.
