The freshman congressperson with a track record of not picking winners in the last primary would probably have loved to be asked her opinion about Democrats and the election on a network news show.. The freshman rep seemed to think that the program was important enough to complain "why are we listening to...." yes? She thought enough people were taking it seriously enough to take to twitter to protest about it. I didn't see her scoff at the program as being inconsequential. Sounds like the sour grapes may be going around.
Personally, I would trust the 'advice" and analysis someone with experience in winning elections in difficult places for a Democrat to win them over a freshman congressperson who does not have those qualities, especially if that freshman congressperson gets testy that someone else is being "listened to" instead of her.
