>> The real problems with the DNC campaigns are complex. They have a poor model for how to run national campaigns, clearly.

The DNC didn't even have a primary last election. They just propped up Kamala and said "here's our candidate" and expected the sheeple to vote for her. Meanwhile one of their best candidates was kicked out of the party a while back and is now Trumps DNI. And if you want to say "they didn't have time" well that's because they figured it was OK to leave a declining old guy in office beyond his sell-by date - yet another poor choice by the DNC.

One point of view is, post hoc, ergo proctor hoc, doesn't really tell you anything at all.

Maybe most electable (though I'm not sure I buy that either), but certainly not best. The simple fact that she's now Trump's DNI makes it clear that she'd been playing for the other team even before her official party switch.

Tulsi wasn't one of the Democrat's best candidates.

You know who was? Senator Mark Kelly.

Yeah, and the fact she's working for Trump now is proof that was the right call.
