So long Kamala Harris? Major resignation that burns the bridge on the way out.

Stacey Abrams she ain't.

Kamala is FAR more accomplished than Stacey Abrams and I love Stacey Abrams.

I really don't think you guys know these people. You can't count on the winds to define who someone is.

I'm not sure that comparing Harris and Abrams apples-to-apples is a great way to do it.

Harris has done well in California. She has been politically tuned in to her environment since her first election to AG, but her campaign has flubbed the migration and translation of that acumen to other places, including Iowa. She and Abrams have also competed as Democrats in very different places, and although their careers have both emphasized public service, Harris' path to high office was different from Abrams', which has focused on justice for poor people and voter registration.

They are both incredible women, and either would be an immeasurable improvement over the current president. They both have work to do to show they can win in the broad contexts where they want to compete.

Her problem, just like Warren was going hard left early and now trying to wriggle back out of it and suffering the consequences of that. M4A is like a lead necklace. Harris is the main Democrat being targeted by bots and disinformation campaigns. Lies spread left and right about her. Pete never hewed that way and is setting up well for the first primaries despite him having run a city smaller than a tiny suburb.

Kelly Mehlenbacher now works for Michael Bloomberg's campaign. Just sayin'.

This is the bigger problem, because Bloomberg shouldn't even be running. With his cash and influence if he wants to impact the 2020 election he could throw his weight behind Bill Weld ... and just maybe pull a few Republicans away from Trump to create a few fatal splits. He should throw his money into Senate races. Take back the Senate. Screw his ego, what a dope he is.

Given this,

”... a letter from now-former state operations manager Kelly Mehlenbacher were corroborated by more than 50 current and former campaign staffers and allies...”

It would seem the criticisms are hardly single source. How does where Mehlenbacher landed impact that one way or the other? This "the woman boss is a bitch" is the same tactic used on Amy Klobucher previously. I don't believe that 50 unidentified people said jack shit.
