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.
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.
@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.
